In a tight game, a goalless draw seemed on the cards with 15 minutes to go, a result that would have seen Juve progress on away goals. Arsenal manager Terry Neill went for broke and threw on 18-year-old striker, Paul Vaessen.

But with just two minutes remaining, the teenager guided a header past Dino Zoff and sent Arsenal through, creating history in the process.
