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.

GOAL! Man United 2-2 Liverpool
87 mins: GOAL! United equalise out of absolutely nowhere!
In truth, this game looked over, and has done for a while. However, United continue to attack, with Antony releasing Garnacho on the wing. The Argentinian cuts in and tries to shoot but it’s blocked and rolls to Antony. He hits it on the turn and it just creeps past Kelleher!
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
86 mins: Diaz releases Elliott win the right and he squares it, but it’s intercepted.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
84 mins: United have a little spell of possession but they’re seriously lacking any attacking threat. Erik ten Hag tries to remedy that by bringing off Varane for Amad.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
82 mins: Gakpo is the latest to have a shot turned behind for a corner. In the meantime, Mainoo has been taken off for Eriksen for the home side.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
80 mins: If Liverpool do only win 2-1, it’s because of their own lack of precision rather than any defensive effort from United. The home side have been woeful this half.
Bradley is the latest player with acres of space, but his cross is put out for a throw.

Man United 1-2 Liverpool
75 mins: Elliott has actually moved to the right to take on Lindelof. He receives the ball in the box and cuts inside, but his shot is blocked and goes out for a corner, which comes to nothing.
72 mins: Those changes mean that Lindelof will be playing out of position at left-back while forced to deal with Salah, and Rashford will play at nine with Hojlund off. Not two changes that’ll have Liverpool very worried, you’d think.
Unite do fashion a chance as McTominay clips a ball over to Garnacho. He lays it off to Fernandes but there are too many bodies in the box and Liverpool clear.
