Everton led at half-time throughGary Lineker,before the second half sawIan Rushscore two goals andCraig Johnstonone. As Liverpool had already won the league, Everton would have claimed a place in the1986–87 European Cup Winners' Cup,but the ban on English clubs in European competitions following theHeysel disasterthe previous season meant that they were unable to do so (in addition to Liverpool not claiming a place in theEuropean Cupfor their league win).[1]
This was Liverpool's third FA Cup Final victory, and their first since1974.Everton, meanwhile, were playing in their third consecutive FA Cup Final and suffered their second consecutive defeat; notable changes from the side that had lost toManchester Unitedthe previous yearwereBobby Mimmsin goal in place of the injuredNeville Southall– Everton had signed veteranPat Jenningson a short-term deal as emergency cover – and new signingGary Linekerplaying in the forward position that had previously been occupied byAndy Gray.[2]
