On the Wembley Road

FA Cup 5th round Arsenal v Liverpool

A large crowd watches the fifth round FA Cup tie between Arsenal and Liverpool at Highbury, with Arsenal one step closer to a Wembley final.

This very brief film captures the 1927 fifth round FA Cup tie between Arsenal and Liverpool watched by a crowd of 43,000. The Topical Budget newsreel camera is positioned extremely low-down behind the goal. Liverpool are in their all-white away kit and all the action takes place with Arsenal on the attack. Arsenal's 2-0 victory set the gunners on the road to an historic Wembley final against Cardiff.
