After Michael Owen was fouled on the right wing, Staunton swung in a free-kick which was punched away by the keeper. The ball was only partially cleared and McManaman regained possession on the left and played it back to Berger, who in turn squared it inside to Ince. He took a touch and then let fly with a swerving shot from about 30 yards.
Although it was saved, the ball headed to Owen, who was racing forwards. He struck a powerful first time volley which went inside the near post via the keeper.
