man united v chelsea 1994 fa cup final

The 1994 FA Cup Final was the 49th FA Cup final to be held since the Second World War and was contested between Manchester United and Chelsea. United went into the final as Premier League champions, having won the title by 8 points over Blackburn Rovers. They were bidding to become only the fourth team of the 20th Century to complete "the Double" and the first in their own history. Chelsea, on the other hand, were playing in their first major final since 1971 having finished 14th in the Premier League.

The match took place on a rainy May afternoon, and, in the first half, Chelsea were the better team. Gavin Peacock had the best chance of the opening 45 minutes when his half-volley hit the crossbar. In the second half, Manchester United took over with three goals in the space of nine minutes; two almost identical penalties by Eric Cantona and a shot by Mark Hughes, following a slip by Chelsea defender Frank Sinclair. Brian McClair scored a late fourth following an unselfish pass by Paul Ince.

@hellonpluto At Stamfoord Bridge last night watching Liverpool dismantle us comfortably 2-0 haha. But in all seriousness I was 2 years old when this game happend and didn't start going to games till 98, when we were the 3rd-5th best team in the premiership.

Also Frank Sinclair put a very typical performance for him. Eddie Newton made up for it scoring in the 97 final.

Could have been different if Peacock's dipping volley went in instead of hitting the bar.

This brings back great memories for me I was living in Manchester at the time with my ex-girlfriend. We went on a pub crawl and every time we got to the next pub united had scored another goal.It was pissing rain in manchester that day but not on the boys in red. The victory was mad all the more sweeter because my ex-girlfriend was an Arsenal supporter and fuming lol.
