The 1986 FA Cup final was the 105th final of the FA Cup. It took place on 10 May 1986 at Wembley Stadium and was a Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool. The match was played seven days after Liverpool had secured the league title, with Everton finishing as runners-up. At the time, Everton and Liverpool were widely regarded as the two leading English clubs.
Summary
Liverpool won the match 3–1, thus completing the Double in Kenny Dalglish’s first season as a player manager. Everton led at half-time through Gary Lineker, before the second half saw Ian Rush score two goals and Craig Johnston one. As Liverpool had already won the league, Everton would have claimed a place in the 1986–87 European Cup Winners' Cup, but the ban on English clubs in European competitions following the Heysel disaster the previous season meant that they were unable to do so (in addition to Liverpool not claiming a place in the European Cup for their league win). https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2020/may/09/everton-v-liverpool-1986-fa-cup-final-live Liverpool v Everton 1986 FA Cup Final: as it happened 9 May 2020 Guardian 14 May 2020
This was Liverpool's third FA Cup Final victory, and their first since 1974. Everton, meanwhile, were playing in their third consecutive FA Cup Final and suffered their second consecutive defeat; notable changes from the side that had lost to Manchester United the previous year were Bobby Mimms in goal in place of the injured Neville Southall – Everton had signed veteran Pat Jennings on a short-term deal as emergency cover – and new signing Gary Lineker playing in the forward position that had previously been occupied by Andy Gray.Macintosh Iain 1 October 2015 How Everton lost the FA Cup (and league and Super Cup) to Liverpool in 1986 https://www.theguardian.com/football/the-set-pieces-blog/2015/oct/01/liverpool-everton-fa-cup-final-1986-merseyside-derby The Guardian 20 October 2015
