The Londoners defeated Sheffield United 2: 1 (1: 0).
At the beginning of the game, the home team did not score a single goal from behind, and in the 25th minute, the visitors scored 1: 0 with a penalty kick of 11 meters in Nikola Pepe.
Three minutes before the end of the regular time, David McGoldrick equalized the result of the Arsenal defender’s error, but United’s joys were short, as Dani Sevaljos won the visitors in the first minute of the second half compensation time. The Spanish midfielder joined the attack on the penalty area, took a few steps to the front and scored 2: 1 from a sharp angle.
It has already been reported that Manchester “United” reached the first semifinal on Saturday, beating Norwich’s City in a 2: 1 overtime.
In the remaining two quarter-final duels on Sunday, Leicester City will meet with London Chelsea and Newcastle United with Manchester City.
Last year, the FA Cup was won by Manchester City, which destroyed Watford 6-0 in the final.
Most FA trophies – 13 – belong to Arsenal, while Manchester United are one less.
