  • Assist: Kenny Sansom. "Sansom won a tackle deep in England's half on the left and the ball bobbed from Lineker to Beardsley and back again before the Everton man cut inside. Lineker switched the attack square to Steven on the right and Steven...waited for Stevens to make the overlapping run. The right-back sent the ball across low and there was...Lineker surging in to sweep it past Mlynarczyk." Gary Lineker7th of 48 goals. Right-footed from 6 yards., 8' 07:33
  • Assist: Steve Hodge. "A beautifully angeld ball from Beardsley released Hodge on the left ans as his centre swung in towards the far post Lineker was there again to increase England's lead." Gary Lineker8th of 48 goals. Right-footed from 7 yards., 14' 13:47
  • Assist: Trevor Steven. "[From a corner] Steven's centre deceived the Polish goalkeeper and after the ball had gone through Mlynarczyk's hands, Lineker scored his third goal with a flourish." Gary Lineker9th of 48 goals. Left-footed from 5 yards., 36' 35:20
