  • Assist: Nicky Barmby. "Beckham's free-kick from near the left corner flag appeared to have been overhit, but Gerrard diligently chased it down to allow Gary Neville to send it back into the goalmouth form the opposite direction. Nick Barmby gained the priceless flick to wrongfoot the German defence and, though the ball came to Owen at an awkward height, he hooked a shot past Kahn for his eighth goal of a seaon less than a month old."
