1989 FA Cup

The 1989 FA Cup Final was a significant event in English football, played on May 20, 1989, at Wembley Stadium. It featured Liverpool and Everton, the two major teams from Liverpool, in a fierce local rivalry known as the Merseyside Derby. Liverpool won the match 3-2, securing the prestigious trophy. This final was particularly memorable not only for the intense competition but also because it occurred just weeks after the Hillsborough disaster, where 96 fans tragically lost their lives.
