    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

Goals in each half from Trevor Francis and Peter Withe sank a skilful Hungarian team and strengthened England's position at the top of their European championship qualifying group. Francis was always a handful for the Hungarian defence, and Withe topped a powerhouse performance with a cracking goal in the seventieth minute when he chested down a long pass from Sammy Lee and rifled in an unstoppable cross shot. Action man Withe had to go to hospital for treatment to a fractured cheekbone and a broken thumb. There was the rare sight of two goalkeeping captains tossing the coin at the pre-match ritual.
