FA Cup: Manchester United eliminates Liverpool after a stunning quarter

Manchester United eliminated their rival Liverpool (4-3 ap.) in the FA Cup on Sunday at Old Trafford, after a thrilling quarter-final with multiple twists and turns, which ended with a decisive goal. 'Amad Diallo in overtime.

The 21-year-old Ivorian striker, who came on at the end of the second half, qualified for the final four at the end of the suspense (120th 1) after a high-intensity encounter, where each team came close to a knockout. . Manchester United, sixth in the Premier League, is taking a step closer to the “Cup” final which offers its winner a ticket to the Europa League.

Conversely, the dream of a quadruple is gone for Jürgen Klopp's team, titled in the League Cup, second in the league and still in contention in the Europa League. Manchester United got off to a better start on Sunday, and its domination was materialized by Scott McTominay, on the lookout for a ball pushed back by goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher (10th, 0-1). But Liverpool once again called upon their mental resources to turn the situation around in the space of three minutes before half-time.

The young central defender Jarell Quansah, starting due to Ibrahima Konaté's new withdrawal, sounded the revolt with an offensive breakthrough leading to the equalizer from Alexis Mac Allister on a deflected shot (44th, 1-1). His passer, Darwin Nunez, ignited the second spark, a heavy strike difficult to repel by André Onana and exploited by Mohamed Salah (45th 2, 1-2), the Egyptian's 21st goal this season.

In the wake of his replacement, Liverpool wasted a five-on-two counterattack (79th) and paid dearly with Antony's equalizer (87th, 2-2). Manchester United could even have made the difference before going to extra time but Marcus Rashford, superbly found by Christian Eriksen, missed the target (90th 4).

In extra time, Liverpool regained the advantage again thanks to a strike from Harvey Elliott deflected by Eriksen (105th, 2-3). Manchester United, however, turned the tables with goals from Rashford (112th) and Diallo (120th 1), who had only played an hour cumulatively so far this season for the Red Devils.
