Manchester United are ready for the semi-finals of the FA Cup after crazy drama.
In the 120th minute, Amad Diallo made it 4–3.
– This is the craziest thing I’ve been a part of in a very, very long time, says Glenn Strömberg in Viaplay.
The cup quarter offered an entertaining start. After several good chances, United were able to take the lead in the tenth minute. Scott Mctominay was in the right place at the right time to make it 1-0 on Alejandro Garnacho’s shot.
Manchester United’s Danish striker Rasmus Höjlund is back in the eleven after an injury that kept him out of action since February 18.
Dream minutes of Liverpool
Liverpool’s Endo had a ball in the net in minute 37 – but that goal was ruled out after VAR review for offside.
And just before the half-time break, the visitors were rewarded. Alexis McAllister shot from inside the penalty area and found the net after a slight control on Kobbie Mainoo.
Just a minute later, the turnaround was a fact. Darwin Nunez’s shot forced a rebound which Mohamed Salah was able to easily slot in for 1-2.
Decided in extra time
For a long time it looked as though Liverpool would hold tight at the back and advance to the semis. But in the 87th minute, Antony received the ball, turned and scored 2-2 with his right foot and took the match to extra time.
Once there, it was visiting Liverpool who took the lead again. In the 105th minute, Harvey Elliott fired a long-range shot that was headed in via Christian Eriksen.
But Manchester United did not give up. Because with eight minutes left in extra time, Marcus Rashford scored to make it 3-3.
Sent off – forgot he had a yellow
And there would actually be another goal. Because in the 120th minute of the match United came flying, Garnacho to Amad Diallo who rolled in 4-3 behind Kelleher. Diallo received his second yellow card in the celebration and was thus sent off.
– What a game! I think we deserved this win. We played very well, one of the best matches of the season too, says the hero Diallo according to Dailymail and continues:
– I forgot the first yellow. I am very disappointed about it. But the most important thing for me is to win and against a big team like Liverpool is a big, big moment for me.
Manchester United face Coventry and Manchester City face Chelsea.
