Aston Villa won 1–0 with a goal by Tommy Barber from a cross by Charlie Wallace. Wallace had earlier missed a penalty, something that would not occur again in an FA Cup final until the 1988 final between Wimbledon and Liverpool. It was Sunderland's first appearance in the FA Cup Final and the first time the Football League's top two finishers had vied for the trophy, even though the League would not be decided for another week.March 2008 On their way to the match Sunderland had to replay their quarter-final twice and then their semi-final once after draws in those contests. Aston Villa were appearing in the final after an eight-year absence and their victory was their fifth, equalling the record at that time of the Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers. During the match Sunderland's Charlie Thomson and Villa's Harry Hampton almost immediately resumed a long-running feud that led to both players being suspended for a month at the start of the following season.Cup Final sequel Sports Argus 5 July 1913 1 The contest was noted for its rough play and led to the withdrawal of Sunderland's invitation to take part in the 1913 Charity Shield match.
