Description:
1966 was the year that England won the World Cup in dramatic fashion, but there was an equally dramatic Final in the FA Cup, as Everton faced Sheffield Wednesday. Both sides had last won the cup in the 1930's - Everton in 1933, and Wednesday in 1935 - and were desperate for a cup trophy. The Sheffield club had finished runners up to Spurs in the league in 1961 but had recently suffered a scandal when three of their players had been suspended for match fixing allegations, which had affected their league form. Everton had been league champions in 1963 but were now midtable and had done well to get to the final without conceding a goal, the first side since Bury in 1903, beating both Manchester clubs on the way. But it was also their first final in 33 years since they won it and despite their defensive record it was Wednesday who took an early lead against the Toffees when Jim McCalliog opened the scoring for the Owls. It set the game up to be an all out attacking affair in what would prove an intriguing and exciting first half...

![Noni Madueke had to be dragged away from referee Craig Pawson after Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday evening. <br/><br/>Madueke and his teammates thought they had secured a 96th-minute winner when Axel Disasi headed home from close range to make it 3-2 in their favor. <br/><br/>However, the goal was disallowed after a lengthy VAR check that saw Pawson consult the pitch-side monitor. <br/><br/>Pawson ruled the goal out after claiming Benoit Badiashile had shoved Diego Carlos in the back in the build-up to the goal. <br/><br/>Madueke was furious with the decision and wanted to make his feelings known after the final whistle at Villa Park. <br/><br/>Madueke stormed straight up to Pawson and began shouting in his face before being restrained by Chelsea coach Jesus Perez. <br/><br/>Madueke and Benoit Badiashile could reportedly be heard saying 'It's wrong, you know it's wrong. You know it. You know it!' while pointing at Pawson. <br/><br/>Disasi, who scored the disallowed last-gasp goal, tried to calm Madueke down by grabbing him and walking him away from the situation. <br/><br/>However, it was a little too late as Pawson was less than impressed with Madueke's behavior and awarded him a yellow card before speaking to Cole Palmer. <br/><br/>Palmer appeared to plead with Pawson before being escorted away by Chelsea's backroom staff.<br/><br/>Once tensions had settled, Madueke was asked about the 96th-minute goal. He told BBC Sport: 'Should it have been three points? Yes.'<br/><br/>The 22-year-old went on to add: 'Do I think the goal should have stood? Yes. Nothing else to say about the situation.'<br/><br/>Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino was equally as unimpressed and said VAR is 'damaging English football' after his side were denied the injury-time winner. <br/><br/>'Everyone that was watching the game will feel disappointed,' Pochettino said on TNT Sports after the game. <br/><br/>'Two different things the referee said it was a foul and disallowed the goal and then went to the VAR to confirm.<br/><br/>'The referee is unbelievable and it's ridiculous.

_1966-fa-cup-final-everton-v-sheffield-wednesday-2nd-half.webp "The 2nd half of the 1966 FA Cup Final between Sheffield Wednesday and Everton, where Wednesday held a 1-0 lead. Neither side had reached the FA Cup Final since the 1930's, let alone win it since then. But an early goal in the 2nd half looked to turn the game in favour of one team, only for a crucial substitution to turn the game on it's head. But who would triumph in what would prove one of the greatest cup finals of all time?")
