Notes

  • - Staunton's own goal was so described in the Liverpool Echo. "The youngster was perfectly placed on the edge of his penalty area to intercept a left wing cross from David Kelly and decided to turn it back to his goalkeeper. Unfortunately he caught the ball perfectly and sent in an effort Aldridge would have been proud of. Mike Hooper dived in desperation but the ball beat his grasp and rolled into the net off a post."

    - Liverpool's heaviest defeat in a cup competition since 1946.
