FA Cup 1991-92
Encyclopedia
The 1991–92 FA Cup was the 111th season of the world's oldest knockout football competition, The Football Association Challenge Cup, or FA Cup
for short. Liverpool
beat Sunderland 2–0 in the final to take the cup. This was the first FA Cup competition to use penalties to decide games still tied after extra time in a replayed
match.
Liverpool began to compensate for a sub-standard league season by eliminating Aston Villa and booking themselves a seemingly easy semi-final tie with a Portsmouth side who defeated League Cup finalists Nottingham Forest and ending their hopes of a unique FA Cup/League Cup double.
Norwich City reached the semi-finals for the second time in four seasons after beating Southampton in a replay.
Sunderland joined fellow Second Division side Portsmouth in the FA Cup semi-finals thanks to a 2–1 replay win over Chelsea after a 1–1 draw.
Sunderland beat Norwich City (a side yet to reach the FA Cup final) 1–0 to reach the final of the competition for the first time since their 1973 triumph over Leeds United.
Portsmouth came close to setting the piece for a unique "non top division" FA Cup final, but their luck ran out in the FA Cup semi-final where they lost to Liverpool on penalties in the replay.

Liverpool won 3–1 on penalties
