Liverpool spent most of the first half well up in their opponents 'half, but rarely did they prompt Wilson in the Arsenal goal to sharp action, and Arsenal, counter‑punching, looked more dangerous on the break.

Three times in the second half Arsenal went close to settling the matter within the ninety minutes. Kennedy flicked Radford's pass wide from five yards and Graham first headed against the bar and then had another header blocked on the line by Lindsay.

Liverpool scored two minutes into extra time, Heighway surprisingly beating Wilson at the near post, and that, it seemed, must be the end of Arsenal's 'double' hopes.
After Wilson’s critical one‑handed save from Hall's volley, Arsenal found the heart to fight back, and, with eleven minutes of extra time gone, they drew level. Radford's overhead kick into the Liverpool goalmouth was rolled gently goalwards by substitute Kelly, and Graham appeared to run the ball over the line. The goal was later credited to Kelly.

Now the scene was set for George's magnificent winner ‑ an unstoppable twenty‑five yard drive, shoulder‑high, to Clemence's right.
