Line 42:
England's final international match of the season came at [[Richmond Athletic Ground]] on 1 April against [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] who were hoping to avenge their defeat in each of the two previous seasons. England selected a strong eleven, with only [[Leslie Gay]] of [[Old Brightonians F.C.|Old Brightonians]] making his début in goal. Gay later played [[Test cricket]] for [[England cricket team|England]].
England ultimately enjoyed another comfortable victory; [[R. Cunliffe Gosling|Gosling]] scored after 15 minutes, but Scotland went ahead with goals after 30 and 55 minutes. A goal from [[List of England national football team captains|captain]] [[George Cotterill (footballer)|George Cotterill]] brought England level after 65 minutes. [[Fred Spiksley]] then scored twice in two minutes before completing his hat-trick after 84 minutes, thus enabling England to continue their fine run against the Scots.<ref>{{cite web |title=England 5 Scotland 2 (1 April 1893) |url=http://www.englandfootballonline.com/Seas1872-00/1892-93/M0049Sco1893.html |website=englandfootballonline |access-date=12 July 2018 |date=18 May 2018}}</ref>
As a result, England were the winners of the [[British Home Championship]] for the third consecutive season.
