Assist: Chris Waddle. "Waddle appeared to be hemmed in by Sheedy and Staunton near the right-hand touchline but he still managed to produce an awkward deep cross that was held up by the wind and bisected the Irish centre-backs like a scimitar. Bonner came for it a fraction too late, Lineker deflected it past him with his chest and although he stumbled over the goalkeeper's legs he managed to stagger on and touch the ball over the line."Gary Lineker32nd of 48 goals.
