Live Reporting

Tom Rostance

  1. Wimbledon boss Bobby Gould is out of his seat and down by the touchline. Hang on! will be the gist of his instructions I presume.

  2. LAST 10

    Into the last 10 minutes. Wimbledon have weathered the storm so far. Can they hang on and win this?

  3. CLOSE!

    Chance! John Barnes, whose parents were in the studio before the game, has his first chance of the game. A header at the near post, but he bullets it wide under heavy pressure. Not at his best on the big stage. I'm sure Barnes will grow out of that though. One of the word's best attackers on his day. No question.

  4. John Motson and Jimmy Hill believe Dave Beasant will be named man of the match. What do you think?

  5. That's what Jan Molby can do - a wonderful 45-yard crossfield pass to find Ray Houghton. But again the delivery from out wide is poor.

    For a side with genuine claims to be the greatest team ever, Liverpool have been terrible really. Dave Beasant has had nothing to do - bar the penalty...

  6. CLOSE!

    Wimbledon's first attack since the break. Dennis Wise is again the architect, spinning out wide and putting a cross in which John Fashanu heads over.

    Are they really going to do this?

  7. Jimmy Hill
    BBC pundit at Wembley

    "Wimbledon have been first class, they have Liverpool in real trouble.

    "It is extraordinary that when they are desperate to score, for the double, to maintain their reputation as one of the great teams of all time, they have taken off their leading goalscorer in John Aldridge."

  8. SUBSTITUTION

    Jan Molby, who had a cracking game in the final against Everton two years ago, is now on in place of Nigel Spackman. Can the Dane lift Liverpool? Their fans still believe but it's quite flat at Wembley.

  9. Electric, balletic run from John Barnes as he sprints away from two defenders - but his cross in is poor. Jan Molby is warming up. As much as he ever does, anyway.

  10. FAST FORWARD

    Thom Lovelock: Don't forget Kevin Keelan made the first Wembley penalty save. Didn't stop the rebound though...(for Norwich in a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the 1975 League Cup final)

    db2002: Often wondered what might have happened 2 years later in Italy if England had brought on Dave Beasant for the penalty shootout

  11. John Barnes has abandoned his station on the left wing to play through the middle now. What continental types may call 'the number 10 role.' He has been on the periphery all game - got to get him into the game.

  12. "Come on you Reds!" is the chant ringing out at Wembley. These Liverpool fans have seen a bellyfull of success over the last 15 years or so. Can they see another famous win now? They have just over 20 minutes to score. They have 99 goals in all competitions this season. Number 100 is needed fast.

  13. John Scales has in fact gone on up front for Wimbledon! More bizarre scenes at Wembley. A 21-year-old centre-half playing up with John Fashanu.

  14. SUBSTITUTION

    There will be no chance for John Aldridge to redeem himself, he is replaced by Australian maverick Craig Johnston. He's been talking about packing in football after today to work on some sort of new-fangled boot design. No future in that Craig. None.

    Wimbledon also make a change, bringing on young defender John Scales. Five at the back?

  15. It certainly looked a generous decision from the referee to give Liverpool a penalty. That's not only the first penalty missed in a Cup final at Wembley, it's also the first one John Aldridge has ever missed for Liverpool.

  16. Jimmy Hill
    BBC pundit at Wembley

    "Liverpool were very lucky to get the penalty, there can be no doubt about that. The defender won the ball, it wasn't an intentional trip.

    "Maybe divine judgement decided that Wimbledon do not deserve to lose the game."

  17. MISSED PENALTY

    What a save! History has been made! John Aldridge does indeed go to Dave Beasant's left, Beasant guesses right and makes the save! This is extraordinary.

    Watch the penalty again now by using the highlights tab.

  18. BBC FA Cup final commentator John Motson at Wembley

    "High drama here! Never has a penalty been missed in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

    "I spoke to Wimbledon keeper Dave Beasant in the week and he said he has been studying penalties taken by John Aldridge. He expected it to go to his left. Let's see."

    John Aldridge

  19. PENALTY TO LIVERPOOL

    Well then! Another big call for ref Brian Hill as he gives the Reds a penalty. Clive Goodyear on John Aldridge...

  20. FAST FORWARD

    Jack Degge: My Dad bought me a poster in Birkenhead market the week BEFORE the match with the banner "Liverpool FA Cup Winners 1988." Oops

    Victor Smith: it's crazy to see how much football has changed in the last 25 years, all round play is so different
