What a game! Manchester United eliminates Liverpool from the FA Cup in extra time in a game with seven goals – FA Cup

Manchester United booked a place in the FA Cup semi-finals by eliminating Liverpool 4-3 at Old Trafford after extra time. In a crazy game, the Red Devils found strength where there seemed to be none to fend off the Liverpool team.

Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes were starters for the ‘red devils’, on an ‘old school’ afternoon at Old Trafford, with the Brazilian Antony, first, saving Manchester United from elimination, in the 87th minute, and then with the young Ivorian Amad Diallo, at 120+1, starring in a dramatic and unexpected triumph.

Manchester United thus closed the group of teams in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, joining Chelsea, holders Manchester City and Coventry City, the only representative of the ‘Championship’ and lower levels.
