Everton’s first Wembley appearance ended in a crushing victory for the Blues over Manchester City.

They took a 1-0 half-time lead, after City’s goalkeeper Len Langford, under pressure from Dixie Dean, spilled a Cliff Britton cross at Jimmy Stein’s feet. On 52 minutes Dean bundled both the hapless Langford and the ball into the net to make it 2-0, and Jimmy Dunn’s header ten minutes from full time assured a comprehensive victory.

‘One feels it is a grand achievement after forty-one years with the club. I was present at the final in 1897, 1906 and 1907 and today was a happy consummation as it were,’ said Will Cuff. ‘I would like to pay tribute to our doughty opponents, Manchester City. We are delighted at the sporting way in which they accepted the verdict although one expected nothing but that from such good sportsmen.’
