 08 May Arsenal                  2  1  Liverpool                [aet[Wembley]

Liverpool lost in overtime.

Arsenal won their 4^th Cup and a double. Significant success: their very first double and first cup after 1950!
League Cup Final

Tottenham Hotspur        2  Aston Villa              0

Too bad Aston Villa lost the final – they played in the Third Division and if they won the League Cup would had been incredible. Yet, it was great effort.

And here are the winners: the Spurs won their first League Cup.
