Match Rewind: Watch our live stream of the 1994 FA Cup final
UNITED 4-0 CHELSEA (1993/94)
Alex Ferguson’s side had swept all before them in the Premier League, finishing eight points clear of Blackburn Rovers to clinch a second consecutive title. Now, Glenn Hoddle’s Chelsea stood between us and a first-ever Double and the Blues made the trip across London in ebullient mood, having been responsible for two of our four league defeats. The capital club had the best of the first half at a wet Wembley, with Gavin Peacock – the goalscorer in each of those 1-0 reverses – clattering the crossbar with a shot from distance early on. United took charge after the interval, though. Eric Cantona slotted home from the spot after Denis Irwin was felled on the hour and then repeated the trick six minutes later. Mark Hughes made it three, effectively while the BBC were still broadcasting the replay of Frank Sinclair’s penalty-area foul on Andrei Kanchelskis, before Paul Ince selflessly squared for Brian McClair to tuck home and cap off a historic campaign.
