The 1932 FA Cup final was contested by, Newcastle United and Arsenal at Wembley Stadium in what became known as the: "Over The Line" final. Newcastle won 2β1, both of their goals scored by Jack Allen.
Arsenal had led 1β0 with a Bob John goal, but Newcastle's equaliser came after a long ball that had appearedββto pass over theββgoal line. Newcastle winger Jimmy Richardson crossed the "ball back into the field." And Allen levelled the match for the Magpies. The referee ruled that the ball had not gone out of play. But photographic evidence later suggested that the ball had crossed the line; the goal stood. Allen scored again in the second halfββto win the match 2β1.
