The 1985–86 season was one of Liverpool’s finest, as they completed a historic league and FA Cup double under player-manager Kenny Dalglish. In the First Division, Liverpool overcame Everton in a tight title race, clinching the championship on the final day with a 1–0 win at Chelsea — Dalglish himself scoring the decisive goal. In the FA Cup, they beat Everton again, 3–1 in the Wembley final, with goals from Ian Rush (2) and Craig Johnston. Rush finished as top scorer with 47 goals in all competitions. Though banned from Europe, Liverpool’s domestic dominance defined this memorable campaign.
