Background

[edit]

Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion had already played each other in the FA Cup once, in1885. They played out a goalless draw, with West Bromwich winning the replay 3–0.[2] Although the two clubs have afierce rivalry, this match was well before the rivalry developed and was probably not even a catalyst for the rivalry.

Summary

[edit]
A scene of the match

After defeating the incredibly strong team Preston North End in the semis, West Bromwich began the match as favourites. For forty-five minutes, the Aston Villa defense was besieged. The Albion strikers even attempted to run the goalie over his own goal line. However, the first half ended goalless. In the second half, momentum began to shift Villa's way, as West Brom lost confidence. Finally, Villa broke the deadlock whenArchie Hunter fired home, the West Brom goalie not even attempting a save, believing Hunter to beoffside. In the final minute, Villa completed the win, withDennis Hodgetts colliding with West Bromwich Albion goalieBob Roberts, and poking the ball over the line to make it 2–0[1]
