Match No. 703 - Wednesday, 9th March 1994, 8:00pm

  • Assist: Alan Shearer. "It was simple but effective in its execution. A long ball out of defence from Le Saux found Alan Shearer some 25 yards out in the old inside-left channel, and his turn and clever little through pass enabled Platt to nip in front of Chelsea's Jakob Kjeldbjerg before shooting across Schmeichel left- footed, into the far corner." David Platt21st of 27 goals. Left-footed from 13 yards., 17' 16:57
