A full replay of one of the most memorable games from Euro 96 – featuring one of the tournament’s most iconic goals – as England faced old foes Scotland at Wembley.
After an underwhelming draw with Switzerland in their opening match, the Three Lions came into this game under pressure. Midfielder Paul Gascoigne had been substituted as England struggled in the second half against the Swiss, and was fearful of losing his place for this match. But manager Terry Venables kept faith with him, aware that Gazza was the England player most likely to produce a moment of magic.
The Scots, meanwhile, had been buoyed by their draw against the Netherlands. Though underdogs, they were dreaming of a first Wembley win since 1981.
