Match overview
Van Basten’s breathtaking hat-trick overpowered England despite Robson’s equaliser. The Dutch striker profited from Koeman’s passes and Koeman later struck the bar, while Shilton denied Gullit a fourth.
Trivia
Van Basten’s treble was the first by a Dutchman at a major finals and remains England’s only hat-trick conceded in European Championship history.
