Newcastle United 2-1 Arsenal (FA Cup Final, )

The 1932 FA Cup Final was contested by Newcastle United and Arsenal at Wembley Stadium in what became known as the “Over The Line“ final. Newcastle won 2--1, both of their goals scored by Jack Allen. Arsenal had led 1--0 with a Bob John goal, but Newcastle’s equaliser came after a long ball had appeared to go over the goal line, and out for a goal kick;[1] Newcastle winger Jimmy Richardson nevertheless crossed the ball back into play and Jack Allen levelled the match for the Magpies. The referee ruled that the ball had not gone out of play, even though photographic evidence later showed that the ball had actually crossed the line, and the goal stood. Allen scored again in the second half to win the match 2--1.
