Arsenal had led 1–0 with a Bob John goal, but Newcastle's equaliser came after a long ball that had appeared to pass over the goal line. Newcastle winger Jimmy Richardson crossed the ball back into the field and Allen levelled the match for the Magpies. The referee ruled that the ball had not gone out of play, but photographic evidence later suggested that the ball had crossed the line; the goal stood. Allen scored again in the second half to win the match 2–1.
