England beat Scotland on the ground of the Sheffield Wednesday Club on Saturday by 5 goals to 4. It was a remarkable match, for England snatched a dramatic victory after the sides had changed ends with Scotland leading by 4 goals to 2. There were 35,000 spectators...

Within 10 minutes of the start, England took the lead after some brilliant combined work by the forwards. Kelly made an opening for Wallace to run down and centre the ball to Cock, who scored very cleverly from a position almost under the crossbar. Three minutes later Scotland drew level. The pace of Troup had previously threatened danger, and it was from one of his runs that Miller was enabled to score. This goal was followed by a series of hot attacks upon the Scottish goal, and three minutes later another brilliant movement by Kelly and Wallace enabled the latter to put the ball into the goal-mouth, and Quantrill dashed in and did the rest...

Ducat neglected Troup, who was far more dangerous than his partner, with the result that the outside man was able to outpace Longworth and put his centres across before the English defence could get back to cover Hardy. Wilson was quite unmarked when he scored the second equalizing goal, but when Troup again got the better of Longworth, the centre forward was not in such a good position. Realizing that Donaldson had a better opening, he passed out to the latter, who took the ball on the run and beat Hardy with a very fast drive..

Scotland, however, again broke through the home defence, and Donaldson, who was unmarked, cleverly turned the ball over to Miller, who easily scored his side's fourth goal...

...12 minutes after the restart McCall passed to Kelly, who eluded the backs and sent in a shot that glanced off the goal-post into the net. The equalizing goal came 10 minutes later; Quantrill outpaced the defence, and, from his centre, Cock transferred the ball to Morris, who scored the finest goal of the match...

Campbell's wonderful goalkeeping kept the English forwards out for another six minutes, but Kelly then ran close in from a centre by Quantrill and scored a goal worthy of Bloomer at his best. Campbell made an heroic effort to save, and was damaged in the collision with Kelly. He was off the field for 10 minutes, Gordon keeping the goal in his absence...
