Man United defeat Liverpool to book FA Cup semi-final spot

Amad Diallo scored in stoppage time of extra time as Manchester United won 4-3 against Liverpool in one of the greatest FA Cup ties ever on Sunday.

Liverpool were minutes away from progressing from the Old Trafford quarter-final on two occasions – leading going into the 87th minute of normal time and again in the 112th minute of extra time – only for Erik ten Hag’s team to conjure up two equalisers and an astonishing winner.

21-year-old Diallo was sent off for a second bookable offence after his goal celebration to add to the incredible drama, but that was in nobody’s thoughts at the final whistle.

Scott McTominay had put United in front early on amid a blistering start but goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah put Liverpool in front before the break. Jurgen Klopp’s side wasted many chances to win it before Antony equalised against the run of play.

In extra time, substitute Harvey Elliott put Liverpool in control again only for Marcus Rashford to seemingly send the game to penalties – but for one last twist.

Diallo finally decided the match, sending United to Wembley and confirming this as an all-time classic.

The FA Cup semi-finals will take place on the weekend of April 20.
