Match Media
On This Day
  • Villa suffer a shock defeat in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

  • Shock because they were the fancied team

  • Shock because their preparation had been sensibly consistent

  • Shock because they had won the trophy six times in seven final appearances.

  • Shock because they were the better side throughout the game.

  • Shock because the winning goals, against the run of play, came in three minutes with just three minutes left to play.

  • Just one player, Gibson, lined up for the opposition in the FA Cup final who had appeared in the previous Monday's fixture between the two clubs.
