Match Report by Mike Payne
Match Report by Norman Giller
England had overwhelming possession yet could muster only a couple of half-chances against a Norwegian team packed with seven British-based players and plainly interested in strolling through the game ready for their trip to the United States for the Englandless World Cup finals. The nearest England came to scoring was when Alan Shearer, taking a free-kick quickly, surprised goalkeeper Thorstvedt, who pushed his shot against the post. From the rebound Platt thought he claimed the winner of this dour affair. But the referee ordered the free kick, from which England thought they had scored, to be retaken. England lacked the inventiveness and the guile to change the pace and shape of attacks against the massed Norwegain defence. Venables comforted himself afterwards with the assertion that his three games to date had been invaluable, 'We have got a spirit going, and we are getting a shape to the team,' he said. 'It is a beginning.'
