FA Cup Final 1969 1970 Chelsea Leeds

 

Leeds were superior in organization and team skill, but Chelsea would never admit the possibility of defeat, and their eventual victory after four hours football was a triumph of spirit and determination. The Wembley pitch was in poor condition ‑ wet, patchy and sanded and when Jack Charlton's downward header after fifteen minutes failed to bounce, McCreadie kicked over it, and the ball rolled over the line. Houseman's ordinary‑looking shot from twenty yards went through Sprake's arms for a Chelsea equalizer just before half‑time. Jones' eightyfourth minute goal would have been a killing blow to most teams, but in two minutes Hutchinson headed Chelsea level again.The replay at Old Trafford was a less distinguished affair but again marked by long periods of domination by Leeds. For all of the first half during which Clarke had beaten three men in a swerving run and put Jones through to score‑and for a good part of the second, Leeds were quicker to the ball, covered better and passed more accurately. Twelve minutes from time Chelsea, incredibly, equalized again through Osgood.Chelsea went ahead for the first time in the first period of extra time, Webb heading through from Hutchinson's long throw, and the Londoners held on to win.
