Coventry City 3-3 Man Utd LIVE RESULT: United sneak through to FA Cup final on penalties despite epic Sky Blues comeback
MANCHESTER UNITED have sneaked through to the FA Cup final on penalties after Coventry came back from 3-0 down to take the tie to spot kicks.
The Red Devils took the lead through Scott McTominay's 23rd-minute finish.
Right on half-time, Harry Maguire doubled his side's advantage with a bullet header from a corner.
United captain Bruno Fernandes made it 3-0 just before the hour mark after pouncing on a Coventry defensive error before Ellis Simms netted for 3-1 to begin the Sky Blues' epic comeback.
Callum O'Hare's deflected effort flew past Andre Onana to make it 3-2 - and Haji Wright's 95th-minute penalty completed a stunning turnaround to take the FA Cup classic to extra time.
Victor Torp thought he etched his name into FA Cup history in the 120th minute, only for his strike to be ruled out by VAR for an offside in the build-up.
The tie was decided by penalties, which saw Rasmus Hojlund slam home the decisive spot kick to spare Man Utd's blushes and secure their spot in the final.

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
He's an inch offside in the build-up! Goal chalked off. Dramatic stuff.
Wright got in behind and was marginally offside. He cut the ball across goal and Torp followed in, sliding in and diverting it beyond Onana.
But Wright was off in the build-up.

118. United piling crosses into the box here and causing chaos in the Coventry box.
Eventually it's cleared to Fernandes 22 yards out who nods it back in and Antony hits a speculative volley on the spin which flies high, high, high over the bar.

117. Forson has an effort at goal from 20 yards out which whistles a few yards over the bar.
The keeper had it covered and knew it was just drifting a little too high.

116. So, so close!
Simms pins Wan-Bissaka and receives the ball with his back to goal. He turns Wan-Bissaka and Eriksen before firing at goal at an angle which thunders off the bar, bouncing down and away.
They can't get the follow-up in and it's a goal kick.
Onana is away celebrating and high-fiving his defenders. He must've got a touch with that celebration. If he did, it was minor.

AGONY FOR COVENTRY - ELLIS SIMMS HITS THE BAR!

114. Chance for United now as they break forward.
Antony receives a pass on the left and his shot at goal is blocked. It falls to Amad inside the box but his right foot attempt at goal is pretty desperate, drifting well wide.

SO CLOSE FOR WRIGHT - COVENTRY ALMOST WIN IT!
112. Tremendous build-up play leads to a pass out to Wright on the left bearing down on the United box.
He takes a touch on his left foot with time to pick his spot just inside the area but he drags it a yard wide of the far post.
Massive, MASSIVE chance!

110. A huge chance for Coventry there!
Ellis Simms is played in down the Coventry right and has all sorts of room to drive into the box. He cuts back on his left foot and looks for a lay off at the edge of the box but none of his teammates are there!
United clear to Antony who is wiped out inside his own half and Dasilva is shown a yellow card.
