1996 Football League Cup Final
- 1996 Football League Cup Final
The 1996 Coca-Cola Cup Final took place on 24 March 1996 at Wembley Stadium and was contested between Aston Villa and Leeds United. This was the 35th final and the 29th to be played at Wembley. Aston Villa had won the trophy two years earlier, while Leeds' last victory was in their only final appearance in 1968.
In the first half the teams could only be separated by a superb strike from Savo Milošević. After half-time, Leeds United were simply poor and Aston Villa took advantage to eventually win 3-0. This was the beginning of the end for Leeds United manager Howard Wilkinson, as he was heckled by the clubs fans for his and the team's abject failure. However it was Villa's fifth success in the competition, at the time equalling the record set by Liverpool.
