Manchester United v Liverpool LIVE: FA Cup result and final score as Amad Diallo wins thriller in extra time
Manchester United beat their bitter rivals Liverpool in the most extraordinary FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford
Manchester United produced a stunning comeback to beat Liverpool 4-3 in an epic FA Cup quarter-final as Amad Diallo scored an 120th winner to deny Jurgen Klopp’s side their quadruple bid.
Diallo scored a breakaway goal at the death - and was then sent off for taking his shirt off in celebration - to send United through to Wembley in a dramatic finish at Old Trafford.
Liverpool had been minutes from the semi-finals, in what is Klopp’s final season at Anfield, but Marcus Rashford scored a 112th minute equaliser in extra time, before Diallo’s remarkable winner.
United will play Coventry City in the semi-finals, while the FA Cup draw handed holders Manchester City a Wembley date with Chelsea.

Fans around the stadium are in disbelief. Liverpool fans look especially shellshocked.

“We said that our goal for the rest of the season is getting into the top four and winning the FA Cup.
“We want to get into the final, we know it’s going to be tough, but we’ll do everything to get there.”

FULL-TIME! The whistle goes for full-time after the four minutes, and United have made it into the semi-finals!
What a game. There wasn’t a second to catch your breath in that last bit of extra-time. Fernandes finishes at centre-back, Diallo ends the game off the pitch, but United end the day still in the FA Cup.
Liverpool will be absolutely gutted there. They could and should have wrapped it up by the 70th minute, but instead their quadruple dream is over.
