1981 FA Cup Final Tottenham v Man City The 1981 FA Cup became only the tenth final in history to finish in a draw, and to a replay it went on a damp Wednesday evening in April. But the fireworks were well and truly lit that night, as the nation was treated to a cracker and a goal of sublime quality by Ricky Villa as Spurs clinched the FA Cup for the 6th time in their history.
The game flowed from the very first whistle, with both Spurs and City finding the back of the net in the opening exchanges, and that's how it remained until the second half, when Reeves scored from the spot-kick for City.
But the stage was set for one of the greatest winning goals ever to be seen in a Wembley final: Facing a sea of blue shirts, Villa picked the ball up on the edge of the City area and embarked on an amazing weaving run through the City defence before sliding the ball past an advancing Corrigan and wheeling away in celebration. A truly spectacular goal to decide a classic FA Cup final.
Enjoy this great moment all over again, with the full 90 minutes of the replay and extended highlights of the first match, along with the post match interviews from the Wembley tunnel.
