Top 5 Alan Shearer Goals

#2 England vs Netherlands - Euro '96, June 18, 1996

Shearer finishes off a brilliant move to make it 3-0 to England

Euro '96 is a tournament that will live long in the nation's heart for a generation as England playing in front of their home fans in a major tournament for the first time since 1966, almost emulated that famous World Cup success.

Their most memorable victory of that campaign came in a 4-1 hammering of one of the pre-tournament favourites in the Netherlands, a team that boasted several of Ajax's 1995 European Cup-winning squad.

Shearer had put England ahead with a first-half penalty and added a superb second after the break when he finished off a beautiful move which saw Paul Gascoigne bully his way down the left to slip a pass through to Teddy Sheringham.

Sheringham played a beautiful dummy pass which was so good, it almost fooled Shearer. Recovering, England's number nine smashed the lay off into the top corner. A fabulous goal to highlight one of England's finest ever performances.
