Arsenal v Sheffield Wednesday 1993 FA Cup Final

In the Premiership’s inaugural season, Arsenal once again created history by becoming the first Club ever to attain a domestic cup double, winning both the FA Cup and League Cup in the same season.

Ironically, the Gunners met Sheffield Wednesday in both finals, and defeated their Yorkshire rivals by the same score in both finals, albeit with the aid of a replay in this one.

Before the kick-off, another piece of FA Cup history was created, as Steve Morrow became the first player ever to be presented with a winner’s medal before a ball had been kicked, receiving his League Cup winner’s medal some four weeks after scoring the winning goal in the final.

When the match did get on the way, the contest remained a tight affair. Ian Wright headed Arsenal into a first half lead, but Wednesday’s resilience paid dividends as David Hurst equalised mid-way through the second half, and 1-1 it remained with both teams returning to Wembley for the 4th time in the season to commence battle once again.

With the replay following a similar pattern to the first, Wright once again notched Arsenal ahead in the first half, and Chris Waddle levelled for Wednesday with the aid of a deflection in the second, and with extra time needed, it seemed that the FA Cup Final would be decided by penalties for the very first time.

But with seconds remaining, Andy Linighan became the hero of the hour, rising to meet Merson’s corner and powering a header past a helpless Woods in the Wednesday net. The Cup was on its way back to Highbury for the first time in 14 years and the double was complete. So now relive this historic day, as we bring you the full uninterrupted replay with highlights from the first match in this specially produced DVD to commemorate another landmark day in Arsenal’s history.
