    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

This was a carbon copy of the goalless draw that had bored the Wembley spectators to bits in the third match of the Terry Venables reign. England's failure to find the net for a second successive match was a major worry for England in general and for Alan Shearer in particular. The player who could not stop scoring at club level had now gone eight international matches without putting the ball into the net. The good news for Venables is that his defence looked strong and stable, with Tony Adams and Gary Pallister forming a steady partnership at the heart of the defence. Nottingham Forest's Steve Stone came on as a second half substitute to gain the first of eight caps in a game that was forgotten almost as soon as the final whistle sounded.
