  • Assist: Glenn Hoddle. "In the 23rd minute [Hoddle] began a movement that led to Waddle and Beardsley setting up a chance for Robson, whose shot rebounded from the left-hand post only for the ball to find its way straight back to Hoddle. The Spurs player fired a shot which Zubizarreta managed to parry then collected the rebound and chipped the ball to the far post, where Lineker headed in." Gary Lineker15th of 48 goals. Header from 2 yards., 23' 22:44

  • "Sure enough the second half was barely two minutes old when Beardsley seized on an error by Victor, exchanged passes with Lineker, and sent a shot which spun up high off the goalkeeper. Almost inevitably Lineker headed it in." Gary Lineker17th of 48 goals. Header from 3 yards., 47' 46:34
