Notes
The double sending off occurred when Arsenal keeper Lewis locked his arms around Halliday's legs when clearing, Halliday released his leg none to gently so Lewis then "had a go" and Halliday retaliated. On the way off, Halliday was beckoned by Sunderland director Fred Taylor, who shook him warmly by the hand. Hulme went in goal for Arsenal for the last 12 minutes. The crowd were incensed by Halliday's dismissal, to such an extent that when old favourite Charlie Buchan clashed with Charlie Parker near the end, he was severely booed.
