1974 semi-final replay vs. Leicester City at Villa Park. The first Wednesday in April.
Leicester have Shilton, Weller and Worthington in their team. Both league matches have finished 1-1.
Now it's 1-1 again in the 62nd minute. Peter Cormack wins a header on the left, round about the halfway line.
The ball goes forward into Leicester territory, where John Toshack has dropped deep.
On the second bounce, he lofts it into the inside-right channel, where Kevin Keegan has made a run from outside to in.
As the ball drop over his shoulder on the edge of the penalty area, King Kev loops it on the volley over Shilton's left shoulder.
2-1! Fantastic goal.
Toshack seals a 3-1 win from Cormack's pass in the dying minutes.
We hammer Newcastle 3-0 in the final, which proves to be Shankly's last match.
