Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
Kevin Keegan
was irrepressible after bravely heading England into an early lead in the
face of a strong challenge from goalkeeper Pat Jennings. He then laid on
the first of Bob Latchford's two goals with an accurate cross, and back
headed a Trevor Brooking corner on to Dave Watson for the fourth goal in
this European championship qualifier. The victory sent England leap
frogging over the Irish in the group table to top place. Northern Ireland
manager Danny Blanchflower fumed, 'I know that football is a game of
physical contact, but England took this to extremes. There were times when
I was surprised they wanted a ball to kick.'
