  • Assist: John Barnes. "In the sixth minute Wright was caught from behind by Turgay and Barnes's free-kick, taken with his left foot near the right-hand touchline, swung in sharply towards the centre of the area. Platt's sense of timing did the rest...as he nodded the ball down through Engin's legs." David Platt17th of 27 goals. Header from 6 yards., 7' 06:16
  • Assist: Paul Ince. "..the weakness of the defence in the air was exposed as Ince's cross found Gascoigne running behind the cover to put a firm header into the net." Paul Gascoigne5th of 10 goals. Header from 14 yards., 45' +5

Notes

  • Player InjuriesDixon and Engin in the wars. Dixon gets an elbow to the face in the first few minutes, and then clattered by Tugay after seven which the Turk is carded for. He then goes down a third time in the 19th minute and spends a lengthy time on the sideline nursing a brusied shin whilst Ince covers for him at right back. He returns a few minutes later but is replaced at half-time by Clough.
    Engin collides with Platt in the area in the 42nd minute and goes down clutching his chest. He's helped to his feet and then goes down again trying to claim the ball at the subsequent corner clutching his wrist.
