  • GoalAssist: Peter Beardsley.

Notes

  • Lineker GoalBarry Davies on commentary is convinced that Beardsley is offside when Robson plays the ball out of his own half. Not only is Beardsley clearly onside, so is Lineker who is two yards ahead of him, both being played on by Schällibaum. On reviewing the replay Davies changes his mind. [I'm only adding this here because nothing else happened in this very boring match!]
