Solutions

1:D - Gascoigne had just blasted a free-kick into the top corner during a north London derby at Wembley – a rarity back in those days. Spurs won the game 3-1, with Gary Lineker scoring the other two goals. They also won the final, beating Nottingham Forest 2-1 at Wembley. , 2:C - Clive Tyldesley produced one of his great lines on the day Wayne Rooney announced himself as one of the league's great goalscorers – and the assist came from Thomas Gravesen., 3:D - Keegan had just scored his second goal in the 1974 FA Cup final. Coleman's line for his first goal – "goals pay the rent, Keegan does his share" –  wasn't bad either. , 4:D - The game was in qualifying for the 2002 World Cup. Both teams made it to the tournament. Gernany reached the final; England went out at the quarters., 5:C - Steven Gerrard had just scored a stunning late goal to take Liverpool into the next stage of the Champions League. They went on to win the competition that season. , 6:D - Mario Balotelli only set up one goal in the Premier League. He picked his time well., 7:B - Diego Maradona had just scored the greatest goal in World Cup history, four minutes after he had punched one into the net., 8:D - Fernando Torres had just scored against Barcelona to guarantee that Chelsea would reach the final of the Champions League, which they won against Bayern in Munich. , 9:D - Nevin's one-step penalty was a backpass of an effort but, to be fair to him, Chelsea were winning 4-0 at the time and it was in the League Cup. Although his manager was not impressed, especially after Nevin seemed to make light of his error on the pitch. "I got fined that day," admitted Nevin later. "Not for missing the penalty but for laughing as I was walking back afterwards.’, 10:B - The World Cup match between Chile and Italy in 1962 became known as the Battle of Santiago as there were two red cards, various violent outbursts and four interventions from the police. Chile won 2-0., 11:D - Roma beat Barcelona 3-0 to go through to the Champions League semi-finals. Drury summed it up perfectly, shouting: "Roma have risen from their ruins! Manolas, the Greek God in Rome. The unthinkable unfolds before our eyes. This was not meant to happen, this could not happen, this is happening! Barcelona, extraordinarily, eight minutes from elimination. Di Francesco does not know where to go, Iniesta does not know where to look. It's a Greek from Mount Olympus, who has come to the seven hills of Rome and pulled off a miracle!", 12:B - Scotland had to beat the Netherlands – who had been finalists at the previous World Cup and would be finalists again in 1978 – by three clear goals to qualify from their group. This goal from Archie Gemmil put them 3-1 up but the miracle did not happen. They won 3-2 and went home too soon.
