Eric Cantona, newly crowned as Footballer of the Year, scored the goal that won this severely disappointing FA Cup final for Manchester United and conferred upon them the unique honour of becoming the first club to complete the coveted League and Cup double twice.

Once James had saved from Cantona soon after the restart, the match seemed to be drifting inexorably towards extra time with only the substitutions of Scholes for Cole and Rush for Collymore and the bookings of Phil Babb and Neville to relieve the tedium.
