The 1967 FA Cup was the 87th season of the world's oldest football cup competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup. The tournament was won by Tottenham Hotspur, who defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the final at Wembley Stadium.
One of the most memorable matches of the 1967 FA Cup was the semi-final between Everton and Liverpool, which was played at Goodison Park on March 11, 1967. The match was a close and exciting affair, with both teams having chances to win.
Liverpool took the lead in the first half through a goal from Roger Hunt, but Everton equalised in the second half through a goal from Alex Young. The match remained on level terms for the remainder of the regulation 90 minutes, and extra time was needed to find a winner.
In extra time, Everton took the lead through a goal from Jimmy Gabriel, but Liverpool equalised again through a goal from Ian Callaghan. The match was finally settled in the second half of extra time, when Everton scored the winning goal through a header from Brian Labone.
Everton's victory was a memorable moment in the club's history, and it helped them to reach the FA Cup final for the first time in 12 years. They would eventually lose the final to Tottenham Hotspur, but the semi-final victory over Liverpool remains one of the most famous matches in the club's history.
