The two best-supported clubs in the country
contest the season's first major domestic prize.
Bob Paisley has brought Liverpool to Wembley for the 11th time
in the last seven seasons, but this looks like being his last visit as a manager.
And Rush against Wilkins, he beat him...
What a good effort.
From a man who's scored 30 goals this season for Liverpool,
the first coming on this very pitch in the Charity Shield.
McQueen.
Looks for Whiteside.
Took it down beautifully, turned away from Hansen,
Whiteside!
What a fantastic goal by the 17-year-old after 12 minutes played.
Norman Whiteside, the ball played forward by Gordon McQueen,
and just watch this, Whiteside turns Hansen and in almost the same movement,
having resisted the challenge, drives past Grobbelaar.
Seven red shirts forward, here's Whelan -
oh, Rush came in near post and Ray Wilkins made the cleaance.
Gary Bailey did well initially to come and make the challenge on Rush.
Johnston to Neal.
Checked to play a better ball in to Lee, Whelan is the player on the far side.
Good chance created by Liverpool.
Whelan to Kennedy.
Well, I felt from here that Bailey touched that.
Here's Souness. Neal.
Hit his hand but wasn't intentional.
Wilkins. Johnston.
Lee.
Again the outlet is the full-back Kennedy.
It's in!
The man who scored in the Milk Cup final two years ago,
when it was known as the League Cup, against West Ham.
The ball played to him by Sammy Lee and Kennedy strikes,
left foot, going away from Bailey, who might have got his fingers to it.
But you can never rule out Liverpool, they've come back with the equaliser.
Moses.
And Grobbelaar is stretching, Whiteside!
And the goalkeeper got away with it.
The whistle has gone for the end of 90 minutes plus a bit of stoppage time.
Rush to find Dalglish, Rush to his right, Fairclough in the centre,
Kenny Dalglish, he's right through...
Oh, and a good save.
Here's Dalglish.
Shot struck Macari.
Kennedy. Whelan.
And again, Whelan's curled it!
Brilliant goal! Ronnie Whelan, who got two last year against Spurs,
has scored the second for Liverpool today.
It's the sort of goal that, if an overseas player had scored it,
we would all have said, "Where's that in the English game?"
Whelan curled that to put Liverpool in front for the first time in the final.
Manchester United have refused to be shaken out of their stride,
but Kennedy has put Fairclough through and he's onside.
Liverpool will look back, I think, when all the ifs and buts are discussed,
and feel that they haven't made the most of their chances at times.
Bob Paisley might feel they might have wrapped it up at the end of the 90 minutes.
Fairclough in the inside left position, he's right through for the second time.
Good stop by Bailey, Fairclough again,
and the goalkeeper twice distinguishes himself.
And a good ball by Whiteside trying to find Muhren,
well cut out by Neal. Fairclough onside, his third opportunity.
And the third time he's failed.
It doesn't matter now, because Liverpool have won the Milk Cup for the third year running.
What a nice touch that he should lead the team up,
I'm sure the players among others insisted upon that.
This man has won 19 major prizes...
and he finishes up, quite rightly and properly, as a winner.
