00:00Look at the Arsenal team, we'll see that their right half McClintock has been moved up to inside right.
00:05Sneddon's taken his place in the half-back line, but I should imagine that both Sneddon and McClintock have been
00:09given orders to keep a close watch on Dennis Law.
00:12The Manchester United team is the strongest team that they can put in the field, and we can have a
00:18look at it.
00:19We'll see that nine of their 11 players are internationals, so quite a formidable side with those two inside forwards,
00:25Charlton and Law, and Pat Crerand at right half.
00:28A most formidable opposition for the Gunners.
00:32Arsenal then to kick off, and you'll know that Manchester United have had to change their strength.
00:38Actually, they're playing in blue shirts. Rather strange, their second choice was usually all white.
00:44Now, here's David Hurd playing against his old club.
00:47Now, first, brilliant young outside left.
00:52Manchester United going right at the start.
00:55And a corner to Manchester United.
01:03A packed crowd here at Highbury. Thousands have made the journey from Manchester.
01:11Here's Best to tick the corner for Manchester United.
01:21Stiles.
01:23Law is up to the side.
01:31Cannelly to tick the corner.
01:34Or Manchester United so far.
01:37Charlton Law.
01:38And a goal for Manchester United.
01:41Scored by Dennis Law.
01:48There's Dennis Law, the unmistakable figure, right in the middle there.
01:58Four minutes gone, and Manchester United are one-up.
02:08Oh, they certainly deserve to be in the lead. It's been all-united so far.
02:23Up comes court.
02:29Now, Cannelly, ooh, Charlton didn't move forward. Now, McCulloch.
02:34Collected.
02:35Armstrong.
02:38Oh, a late tackle by Brennan.
02:40Free kick to Arsenal.
02:50Armstrong to tick the free kick.
02:56Clinton.
02:59Almost hands by the referee. I don't know what you give then.
03:10He's leaving it from a Clinton top.
03:18Armstrong to take the corner for Arsenal.
03:25He's back with his defence is George Best.
03:32Lovely ball up to Charlton.
03:34He's got Hurd and Law up with him, too.
03:44Neil coming away, having beaten the Hurd.
03:53Falks to Crerick.
03:57After Best.
03:59Exciting.
04:00Attacking football by Manchester United.
04:04Cannelly.
04:05Maybe a shot from him.
04:07He scored.
04:14That is John Cannelly.
04:17Who, after 17 minutes, has put Manchester United 2-0 in the lead.
04:23Actually, I thought that McCulloch had a good chip again then.
04:28Missed it.
04:29The goalkeeper was scored unawares.
04:40Clinton top.
04:43Charlton.
04:44Charlton to Best.
04:47Third and Law in the middle.
04:49Charlton lurking on the penalty.
04:52There's Law.
04:53And it's 3-0.
04:55Beautiful goal by Law.
04:57And Manchester United just carving this Arsenal team apart.
05:12There's Dennis Law.
05:14Shared outside his fence.
05:16A half out.
05:17Spaded 2-0.
05:1829 minutes gone.
05:23Nice ball to Armstrong.
05:25Easton to the Clinton top.
05:27Number 8.
05:29Easton.
05:31And must be for Baker.
05:34Oh, Falks.
05:35For Anderson.
05:37Oh, no.
05:38Oh, no.
05:38And away comes Best.
05:41And McCulloch.
05:42And Arsenal should have had one then.
05:49Styles.
05:50No panic there.
05:51It's up to Law.
05:52A reckless attempt at a tackle by Kaur.
06:00Charlton.
06:02Up comes Connelly.
06:06Hurd's on the right wing.
06:08Here's Hurd, number 9.
06:11Notice a couple of minutes to United players.
06:15And Hurd penalised.
06:18Pushing the centre-half-nil.
06:23Easton, slipping out of that block well.
06:28In comes Armstrong.
06:30Beaten by Bounce.
06:48Baker going to take the corner.
06:53And this must be a goal now.
06:55Goed by the outside right.
06:57Anderson.
07:02Is the outside right.
07:04Anderson.
07:05It's at 3-1 after 35 minutes.
07:29and a lead cup now to two goals
07:32Manchester United
07:33three goals to one the lead
07:42number one from Eastern to Baker
