British Home Championship
England: Shared champions
How England performed
England shared the 1951–52 title, unbeaten in their three matches. They came from behind to draw 1–1 with Wales at Ninian Park, Cardiff, Baily equalising Foulkes's third-minute goal, then beat Ireland 2–0 at Villa Park, Birmingham, with two goals from Lofthouse.
At Hampden Park, Glasgow, Pearson scored twice before half-time and Reilly's late reply was not enough for Scotland, England winning 2–1. Two wins and a draw, with five goals scored and two conceded, earned a share of the championship, a step up from second the season before.
