5 Greatest Arsenal FA Cup Finals
Page 5 of 6
1979 – Wembley - Manchester United
The five minute final. Arsenal looked to be cruising to one of their easiest final wins ever courtesy of first half goals from Talbot and Judas Mark I when United scored what seemed to be a consolation goal about 5 minutes from time. Within a minute Arsenal were struck dumb by a coruscating and spectacular goal by McIlroy.
From the resulting kickoff, Liam Brady ran through the midfield with Rix bursting past on the outside of him, Brady stroked the ball to Rix whose cross was met by the grateful and ecstatic Alan Sunderland who hooked in an incredible late winner. Cue scenes.
