Match overview
England seized the initiative after the interval when Gary Neville’s cross invited Alan Shearer to head home. David Seaman preserved the lead by saving Gary McAllister’s penalty before Paul Gascoigne produced a moment of brilliance, flicking the ball over Colin Hendry and volleying past Andy Goram to seal victory and ignite the hosts’ Euro 96 campaign.
Trivia
Gascoigne’s celebration – recreating the infamous “dentist’s chair” episode – became one of the tournament’s iconic images, while Shearer’s goal made him the first Englishman to score in consecutive European Championship matches.
