Match No. 779 - Friday, 25th May 2001, 8:00pm

  • Assist: Steven Gerrard. "Scholes laid the ball off to Steven Gerrard and then ran through for the return pass. This was duly supplied, whereupon the Manchester United man struck a superb shot inside the right-hand post from 30 yards." Paul Scholes12th of 14 goals. Right-footed from 31 yards., 3' 2:22
  • Assist: Steven Gerrard. "Just before the quarter-hour, however, their defence was left bemused and beaten once more as England increased their lead. This time Beckham was the instigator with a pass of typical ingenuity to send Gerrard clear on the right. Joaquin Beltran met his low centre ahead of Fowler but could only touch the ball on to the striker, whose right foot did the rest." Robbie Fowler4th of 7 goals. Right-footed from 13 yards., 14' 13:42
  • Assist: Paul Scholes. "In the 30th minute Beltran fouled Scholes a couple of yards beyond the penalty arc and Pride Park knew what would follow. Sure enough Beckham's free-kick flew past a helpless Oswaldo Sanchez and already Mexico were not waving, just drowning." David Beckham3rd of 17 goals. Right-footed from 27 yards., 30' 29:11
  • Assist: Joe Cole. "...Sheringham scoring their fourth goal with a free-kick, curling the ball over the line of defenders and inside the left-hand post." Teddy Sheringham10th of 11 goals. Right-footed from 29 yards., 75' 74:18

Notes

  • Missed Penalty: AbundisOn 66 minutes [65:02] "...a crude challenge from Heskey brought down Daniel Osorno, one of the substitutes, and a penalty offered Mexico the chance to score in England for the first time. Abundis, however, dragged his kick wide [65:53]."
