As England prepare to have another go at making the last eight of a World Cup, we look back at some of most impressive goals the Three Lions have ever scored.
David Platt v Belgium (1990)
England had played roughly 119 minutes against Belgium in this second round World Cup tie against Belgium. The game was heading for penalties before Platt’s ballerina-like swivel and thunderous finish booked our place in the Quarter Finals.
Paul Gascoigne v Scotland (1996)
Words don’t do Gazza’s sublime finish any justice.
Michael Owen v Argentina (1998)
Owen’s brilliant combination of speed and control almost makes you forget our painful exit at the hands of the South Americans.
Joe Cole v Sweden (2006)
A rare highlight of a very ordinary-looking England World Cup campaign in Germany four years ago.
John Barnes v Brazil (1984)
Barnes became a victim of over expectation after scoring one of the greatest ever individual goals at The Maracana.
Steven Gerrard v Germany (2001)
The goal that sank German hearts in Munich by putting England in a 2-1 lead just before half time.
