Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
A goal in
each half by the buzzing Kevin Keegan sank the Irish in this final
European championship qualifier. England played with pace and power for an
hour but their rhythm was upset when David Johnson
-
recalled after five years in the international wilderness
-
had to go off following a sickening clash of heads that caused a long
delay. It was Keegan's speed, energy and improvisation that gave England a
decisive edge, and Laurie Cunningham also caused problems to the Irish
defence with a procession of cleverly flighted corners. A feature of a
generally uneventful match was the forceful debut of West Bromwich Albion
midfield player Bryan Robson.
