Man United beats Liverpool in final minute of extra time

In what could be described as one of the most enthralling FA Cup matches in history, Manchester United, managed to keep their cup dreams alive after a nail-biting victory over arch-rivals Liverpool. After a dramatic extension into extra time, United emerged victorious with a 4-3 scoreline, thanks to a last-minute winner from Amad Diallo. The match, a classic display of the historic rivalry between these two footballing giants, saw Manchester United coming from behind twice, underscoring their resilience and fighting spirit. Old Trafford buzzed with an atmosphere reminiscent of the glory days under Sir Alex Ferguson, with fans and legends alike in disbelief at the spectacle unfolding.

A Match of Highs and Lows

Despite the initial absence from the starting lineup, Antony’s impact was monumental as he scored a crucial equalizer in the 87th minute, propelling the match into extra time. The Brazilian's goal marked a significant turnaround in his season, shedding the 'flop' label attached to him since his high-profile move from Ajax. The extended play saw Liverpool momentarily take the lead through substitute Harvey Elliott in the 105th minute. However, Manchester United displayed exceptional character, with Marcus Rashford leveling the score following a mistake by Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez.

The climax of the match was reached in the 121st minute when Amad Diallo, capitalizing on a swift counter-attack led by the outstanding Alejandro Garnacho, netted the decisive goal, plunging Old Trafford into ecstasy. Diallo's celebration, however, led to a second yellow card, causing him to miss the final moments on the pitch.

The Road to Wembley

This weekend's thrilling victory has set Manchester United up for a semi-final clash with Coventry City at Wembley, promising another exciting chapter in their FA Cup journey. Coventry, who pulled off a surprising win against Wolverhampton Wanderers, will look to continue their dream run against the Premier League giants.

In the other semi-final, Chelsea will face Manchester City, setting up a high-stakes battle between two of England’s top teams. This match is a replay of last year’s FA Cup final, which saw Manchester City emerge victorious over United.

As Manchester United relishes their incredible victory over Liverpool, the FA Cup semi-finals await with the promise of more drama and unforgettable football moments. The stage is set for a showdown at Wembley next month, as four teams vie for the esteemed chance to lift one of football's most historic trophies.
