Football: Gullit back with a goal

(First Edition)

DESPITE the absence of several million pounds worth of striking talent in Dennis Bergkamp and Marco van Basten, the Netherlands battled to a 3-1 win over Turkey in a World Cup Group Two qualifier in Istanbul yesterday.

Peter van Vossen, with two, and Ruud Gullit were the Dutch scorers. They have the same number of points (three) as England and Poland, but have played a game more.
