mallister in Diaz in for Bradley gakpo
and
Clark so who will join centry City
Manchester City and
Chelsea in the last four of this
season's FA Cup it will be one of these
Northwest Giants bearing that in mind
they've also appeared in more
semi-finals than any other club
31 Bruno
Fernandez G
o rashford tried to steer it and Kaho is
busy for the first time said this is
just the start that Eric ten Haag would
have wanted that's a good strong harm
from Van
[Applause]
dijk
Salah Hungarian soos SL he'll line one
up and it's catching practice for
[Applause]
anana
death on that and that's a great effort
by Muhammad Salah the ball traveled a
long
way I mean some of these things he's
just is just incredible I mean it was
only 5 minutes ago he couldn't control
the ball in the the touch line and then
you know it just doesn't nothing Den
this guy's confidence and it's quite
audacious it's a really difficult
technique angles against him
everything's really against him there
but
rashford Bruno
Fernandez rashford on for
garnacho Keller has saved Manchester
United
lead Scott mctom whose goal scoring
threat has improved so much this season
first a strike in the tie of the
quarterfinals and then how gacho is
allowed to go back in here to this space
everybody ball watching three Liverpool
players nobody tracking him that's awful
awful defending and we talked about MC
tomin whether it's for club or country
he has come up with some important goals
uh this season but Garo should never
ever ever be allowed that space with so
many experienced Liverpool Defenders
around all ball watching decent save
from kellerer and there's Momin to pick
up the pie
P from the middle of the park and a
perfect start John for Man
[Applause]
United Gomez
mallister switching to Robertson and
Robertson into a dangerous area and then
it's hits Second Time Around by
[Applause]
soberly Momin
down he goes under the challenge of
Alexis mallister and that will be a
yellow andish by John Brooks yeah he's
not
he's there's no way in a month of Sunday
he's getting away and it's Bruno
Fernandez to take the free
Kick the header of the looping variety
from Varan but
again rashford well found by doow he's
got Waka out there for
company Bruno
[Applause]
Fernandez
Mayu now rashford takes up the batter
and there's mctom
[Applause]
again now Liverpool go the other way
with ls
Diaz nun pulling away in the
center deep still and Anana alert at the
near post Scott mctom I've got to say
he'll be disappointed because it's quite
easy to find one of the corners there
and he Rams it down the throat of
killer
Salah it's Endo it's
1-1 but the whistle is gone and wataru
Endo is going to be
disappointed sloppy from
well is it the should
is going to be tight obviously it'll be
checked as United gave the ball away
there
[Applause]
Quanza so gallops on and finds Nunes and
it's
mallister this time Liverpool are
level and a huge amount of credit to the
young Defender quansa for setting up the
chance well they were never going to lie
down for long Liverpool as they kept
probing and this is just too easy I'm
sorry the way he walks he past one and
two Liverpool players here Marcus
rashford for me he's got to do more he
can't just allow the center half to
stride forward like that and that's a
big deflection off the toe of the
excellent Kobe Mino and I think that's
what just takes it
past Onana no real blame for him because
of the deflection but brilliant for from
conza but when you talk about the
position United have got themselves in
then you look at the work rate
you chance for
Liverpool
Diaz Darwin Nunes wanted it on his right
muhamad
Salah Liverpool have turned this
around two goals in in the space of
three minutes well first and foremost
they're looking for a free kick over
here Joe Gomez with a challenge the the
assistant's right there he doesn't flag
doesn't give
it and he looks if he's just on side
there Darwin Nunes and I was just going
to say about man united at times when
they've been playing well they've looked
okay this season but whenever somebody's
punched them in the face the reaction
has not been good and now there are some
real big questions here as this tie has
been turned
the latter part so they got to be doing
more of the same but keep it tigh at the
back here's Nunes for
Liverpool awkward moment at the base of
the near post for Anana yeah I wonder if
he's just trying to read the cross
coming Alexis
mallister
[Applause]
sly
[Applause]
that clearly is a foul Joe
Gomez into the book he
goes
Endo
mallister Darwin Nunes and Nunes slipped
his man and Demands a
[Applause]
save had the opportunity to put this
tight a
bed it's still a viable Prospect for the
homide and here's garnacho triying to
prove
it Anthony it is
22 and Anthony at long long last enjoys
a moment of personal Glory at Old
Trafford that's a good finish and we
talked about Liverpool all the
possession all the es all the the
overloads that they had at times in this
United defense and were really very
casual in the final
third
Erikson it's rashford chance to win it
and he has pulled it agonizingly wide
the composed finish there's a lovely
little cushion here that's the first
part of it done now this part I think is
a simpler one you got to give United
Credit they've at least shown some
Backbone in this match
today both these teams have led for a
substantial chunk of this
tie Erikson Bruno
Fernandez
Anthony
rashford
mof this why I didn't see this coming
John did you that's a beautiful little
flicking awareness from gacho but
Lindelof overlapping on the left
Peg Bradley Elliot weighing it up
deflection
in looking at an's position
there he takes one step to the left
obviously the deflection does him maybe
I'm been harsh I don't know but that big
step he takes to the
left a lot of pace in it
then Bruno
Fernandez mire noing it
down and it's
Garo
Momin
rashford level
again and this Topsy Turvy classic of a
heavyweight cup quarterfinal takes
another telling twist that it's never on
it's just never ever on and there's a
Scott Momin he plays that ball he's got
cramp when he's playing it he's even
pulling up when he's playing it but it's
got perfect Pace on it for Marcus
rashford he doesn't have to take a touch
D too long
and
Erikson for to
[Applause]
rashford and rashford rolls it
in and it's placed wide agonizingly wide
by Scott M dominate this Liverpool
trying to avoid a penalty
shootout Elliot loses it one last salty
two against one in Manch Manchester
United favor it's Jello and Jello has
won
it Manchester United are heading for the
FA Cup
semifinals it was Eric tenh but how the
hell do Liverpool get in a scenario like
this it is so hesitant prendo but
particularly Harvey Elliot and I thought
actually the pace in this ball wasn't
the best and it was going to be
Liverpool out but young jallow did
brilliantly because it's not the best of
balls from gacho to be honest but what a
picture perfect finish and Bo you talk
about a late win you talk about drama
you got it here today Old Trafford and
the favorites for this game by a long
shot have been sent home to think again
United have turned up big style and they
are going
through
[Applause]
and the 10 remaining limping tired
Manchester United players leap for
Joy they are heading to Wembley and the
semifinal Jurgen klopp's interest in the
FA Cup is over and Manchester United in
a season of so many disappointments hit
the Heights and have more to look
forward to Liverpool simply stunned
[Applause]
