Daily Post reported on the only goal of the game that looked like initially to be an own goal by Ray Kennedy: "Clemence got a hand to a low shot from Stapleton, an angled drive from well out, but was unable to hold it. Ray Kennedy was on hand to kick clear but what look like Kennedy's first goal for Arsenal since he left to join Liverpool, turned out to be correctly credited to Price. The players told me afterwards that as Kennedy kicked, Price threw himself bodily across the line of flight and deflected the ball into the roof of the net."
