Match Report

|
Dennis Tueart ducked low to
head in a Brian Talbot cross in the eighty-sixth minute to give England a
victory they barely deserved. Northern Ireland had taken a fifth minute
lead through Chris McGrath against an England team weakened by the absence
of Liverpool players, who had helped the Merseyside club win the European
Cup three days earlier. Mike Channon equalised in the twenty-seventh
minute, and then missed two clear-cut chances with headers that were
misdirected. Brian Talbot made his debut when replacing Ray Wilkins in the
sixty-fifth minute and made an impressive impact with several
power-charged runs through the Irish defence. Only a brilliant save by Pat
Jennings prevented Talbot marking his first England appearance with a goal
shortly before Tueart's winning header.
