Man Utd in FA Cup Final v Man City
AFTER a semifinal victory on penalties against Brighton at Wembley on Sunday April 23, Manchester United have an FA Cup Final clash with Man City to look forward to.
Manchester United scraped through their FA Cup semifinal with Brighton 76 on penalties. In the process, they set up a mouthwatering final with Manchester City at Wembley on June 3.
Erik ten Hag’s side went into this match off the back of a terrible Europa League drubbing at the hands of Sevilla in midweek. His misfiring players failed once again to find the back of the net during 120 minutes of open play against the Seagulls as they played out an exciting 00 draw.
It took a total of 13 penalty kicks before either side could claim the tie. The unlucky candidate who failed with the 12th kick was Brighton winger Solly March. He was understandably incon solable after Victor Lindelof stepped up to bury penalty number 13 to steal the tie.
Julio Enciso came close to putting Brighton ahead in the second half, only to be denied once again by De Gea. Danny Welbeck headed a corner wide shortly after as well. If Jadon Sancho on as a sub had hit the target towards the end of normal time, the tie would have been decided. In stead, his curled effort flew over the bar.
