Great photo capturing the intense moment of the FA Cup Final between Tottenhotspur and Coventry City on May 16,1987, at the iconic Wembley Stadium. In this classic image, Coventry City's Keith Houchen (second left) turns away to celebrate after scoring the second equalizing goal. The atmosphere in the stadium is electric, with the sea of supporters from both teams creating a vibrant and passionate backdrop. The FA Cup Final was a highly anticipated match, with both teams giving their all to secure victory. The first half of the game saw Tottenhotspur dominating the possession and creating several chances, but they were unable to find the back of the net. Coventry City, on the other hand, were more defensive in their approach, relying on counter-attacks to threaten the Spurs goal. The tide turned in the second half when Coventry City scored the first goal, leaving Tottenhotspur scrambling to equalize. The pressure mounted, and just when it seemed like the game was slipping away from them, Houchen stepped up to score the equalizer. The goal was a moment of pure elation for Coventry City fans, and the scene in the photo perfectly encapsulates the raw emotion and excitement of the moment. The FA Cup Final went into extra time, and eventually, Tottenhotspur emerged as the victors. However, this photo remains a symbol of Coventry City's resilience and determination, and a reminder of the thrilling football that was on display that day at Wembley. Peter Robinson, the photographer, expertly captured the essence of the moment, making this image a cherished piece of football history.
