Coventry City 3-3 Man Utd LIVE RESULT: United sneak through to FA Cup final on penalties despite epic Sky Blues comeback
Sponsored by
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.

99. A little end-to-end there as Coventry try to attack down the right.
But when it breaks down, Diallo can break with space on the halfway line. He gets to the edge of the box without passing or shooting, eventually feeding Eriksen who has his shot blocked.

96. Haji Wright forces Casemiro to commit down the Coventry left and he scoots by the Brazilian.
But he overruns the ball and it rolls out for a goal kick.
Casemiro doing his best impression of someone trying to run after completing the London marathon there. Sir Jim would've likely ran past him there.
Coventry could well play on that here.

What a contrast to how the stats looked at the interval.
Coventry much more in the face of United's players, especially after conceding that third.
They saw much more of the ball in that second period, too.
FT: Coventry 3-3 Man Utd
Nothing but praise for Coventry, who were down and out at 3-0 really.
A combination of their incredible fight, determination and quality got them back in it.
And a little bit of luck at times too.
But this United team will never fail to surprise you. A new low.
They have 30 minutes to rectify things and save their season - and their manager's job!
