Everton won the match 3–1 thanks to goals by Andy Gray, Trevor Steven and Kevin Sheedy. Everton were unable to defend the trophy - as League champions they would have entered the 1985-86 European Cup, but they were not permitted to play in either competition following the actions of rival Liverpool fans at Heysel which saw all English clubs banned from Europe.
