Luton Town Goal - Brian Stein winner for Luton Town v Arsenal in the League Cup Final 1988 - Football Print - Classic Book Cover Poster (Various Sizes)

An iconic football moment is captured in this classic book cover poster.

This version depicts the League Cup final of 1988 between Luton Town and Arsenal at Wembley. The underdogs Luton Town stunned favourites Arsenal 3-2 in one of the best League Cup finals in history.

Luton had stunned defending champions and competition favourites Arsenal by taking an early lead thanks to a goal scored by Brian Stein. However, Arsenal overhauled them with goals by Alan Smith and Martin Hayes within three-second half minutes.

The turning point of the match came with ten minutes left. Arsenal were awarded a penalty after Rocastle was fouled in the box. Andy Dibble saved Nigel Winterburn's spot-kick by turning the ball round the post. A newly inspired Luton equalised with seven minutes remaining when Arsenal defender Gus Caesar mis-kicked a clearance on the edge of his penalty area, enabling Luton's Danny Wilson to head the ball into the Arsenal goal from a Mark Stein cross.

With less than a minute to go, Tony Adams fouled Mark Stein, and from the resulting free kick, Brian Stein scored his second goal of the match to put the game beyond the reach of the defending champions.

The title of the book “In the very last minute” is taken from the brilliant commentary by Brian Moore for ITV.
