Individual evidence
- ↑ In the first game, Marc Overmars scored the 2-1 in the 76th minute. This came after an injury break and Arsenal's Nwankwo Kanu did not, in fairness, return the ball to Sheffield; after playing the ball out of bounds. Arsenal coach Arsène Wenger then offered Sheffield the replay of the game.
