Liverpool F.C. won its ninth league title and second UEFA Cup. They were the first trophies won under manager Bob Paisley, in his second season as manager. Paisley saw his team clinch the league title narrowly ahead of surprise contenders Queens Park Rangers, thanks to three consecutive victories at the end of the campaign. In a thrilling climax, Liverpool needed to either win, or secure a low scoring draw against relegation threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers. With 14 minutes left for play and despite constant pressure in the second half. the Reds trailed to a Steve Kindon strike for Wolves. The title was slipping away from Liverpool but three late goals from Keegan, Toshack and Ray Kennedy in front of an ecstatic away support ensured Liverpools ninth title and Bob Paisleys first trophy. Two weeks later, Liverpool went to Bruges and secured a one all draw against the Belgian side thereby winning the two legged UEFA Cup Final four three on aggregate. It was a triumph for Paisley and he was named manager of the year.
