1927 F A Cup winning team The match began and it was soon apparent that both defenses were firmly in control. Cardiff got in some early tackles in and Arsenal attack began to look fairly ordinary. The Gunners kept up the pressure, but there were few exciting moments in the first half. It seemed likely that one goal would settle the issue. The second half continued in much the same vein, until after twenty minutes or so, when a moments indecision changed football's history. Ernie recalls " I was in line with the edge of the penalty area on the right when Hughie Ferguson hit the shot which Arsenal's goalie ( Welshman Dan Lewis ) had crouched down for a little early. The ball spun as it traveled towards him, having taken a slight deflection so he was now slightly out of line with it. Len Davies was following the shot in and I think Dan must have had one eye on him. The result was that he didn't take it cleanly and it squirmed under him and over the line. Len jumped over him and into the net , but never actually touched it". It was the only goal of the game, though Erie came close to adding a second later.
