    | 
       
  Two 
	  spectacular goals in the last eight minutes - a thirty-five yard rifle 
	  shot from Tony Currie followed by a rising drive from the edge of the 
	  penalty area by Peter Barnes - gave England a winning send-off to the Home 
	  Championship. Currie had come on as a substitute for Trevor Cherry, who 
	  was carried off with a fractured collarbone in the sixteenth minute. Bob 
	  Latchford gave England an eighth minute lead before limping off to be 
	  replaced by Paul Mariner. Wales equalised through Dwyer during a long 
	  spell of dominance in the second-half before Currie and Barnes stepped on 
	  to the scoring stage.
