Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
England played with
tremendous fervour despite suffocating heat-wave conditions. The Bulgarians
threatened to take an early lead when Ray Clemence pushed a header by Borisov
against a post, but then Kevin Keegan scored after combining with Trevor
Brooking. England clinched victory early in the second-half of this European
championship qualifier with two headed goals in a minute, first by Dave Watson
and then Peter Barnes. Ron Greenwood said later, 'Our plan was for Kevin
Keegan to play a deeper role than usual. This gave us extra drive in midfield,
and confused the Bulgarians who had worked out a man to man marking policy to
try to curb Kevin's freedom of movement.'
