The Wikipedia article of the day for March 11, 2026 is 1876 FA Cup final.
The 1876 FA Cup final was an association football match between Wanderers F.C. and Old Etonians F.C. on 11 March 1876 at the Kennington Oval in London. The Wanderers had won the FA Cup (trophy used at the time pictured) twice, while the Etonians were playing their second consecutive final. Both teams had conceded only one goal in the four earlier rounds of the competition. The match ended in a 1–1 draw, the second consecutive FA Cup final to finish level and require a replay. John Hawley Edwards scored for the Wanderers, but the Etonians equalised with a goal credited in modern publications to Alexander Bonsor. A week later, the teams met again at the same venue. The Etonians were forced to make several changes to their line-up due to players being unavailable, and the Wanderers won 3–0. Charles Wollaston and Thomas Bridges Hughes scored a goal apiece in a five-minute spell before half-time, and Hughes added the third early in the second half.
