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.

PENALTY CONFIRMED
Huge, huge moment at Wembley here...
Coventry 2-3 Man Utd
90+3. VAR are checking this. Rob Jones pointed to the spot for handball straight away.
Wright's cross from the left finds a blue shirt at the back post and the attempt at goal/across goal hits Wan-Bissaka on the arm.
It's relatively close to his body, though.
WOW! PENALTY TO COVENTRY!!
A STOPPAGE TIME SPOT KICK TO LEVEL THE GAME

89. Another chance for Torp.
He gets the ball on the edge of United's box after Wright's attempt is closed down. Torp's effort low and hard at goal hits Wright on the ground and ricochets high into the air and lands on the roof of the net.

88. Huge chance to kill off the game for United!
A poor lay off from Simms is straight to Fernandes who drives on the counter. He and Rashford combine before feeding Hojlund alone inside the box.
His first touch is rubbish and allows Coventry to get back in and scramble it clear.

86. If you need an idea of how much this game has swung, Andre Onana has just been booked for time-wasting.
Extraordinary really.
Coventry 2-3 Man Utd
WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE SAVE FROM ONANA!
That looked like 3-3!
The ball into the United box from a throw in causes chaos. It's eventually landed at Torp 20 yards from goal who catches a volley so, so sweetly and it's arrowed at goal.
Onana shows great strength to keep the ball out, parrying it to safety.
Coventry 2-3 Man Utd
83. Coventry attack at pace on the counter down the left and work the ball superbly well.
The cross into the box hits Dalot though and goes behind for a Coventry corner.

82. Thomas is shown a YELLOW CARD for a foul on Hojlund wide on the United left.
They deal with the cross in, Coventry. Wright heads behind for a United corner.
Coventry deal with it easily.

80. They're almost in again! Wright gets to the by-line and hooks a cross in which is cleared.
GOAL DETAIL Coventry 2-3 Man Utd
I'd written Coventry off at 3-0.
But I completely disregarded how desperate this Manchester United team have been this season.
And it's GAME ON!
Simms is allowed to pick the ball up on halfway and drive as far as he wants. With runners in the middle, he opts for a square ball to O'Hare 25 yards from goal who has a strike which takes a huge deflection off Wan-Bissaka.
Onana is rooted to the spot and the ball falls in the top corner.
Absolute mayhem in that end of the ground!!
GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!!
GAME ON AT WEMBLEY - O'HARE SCORES WITH 12 MINUTES TO GO!

75. United keeping the ball to take the sting out of things at the moment.
Dalot and Antony combine before the latter tries to find Eriksen with a ball in behind but it's overhit and scooped up by Collins.

73. United change:
- OFF: Mainoo
- ON: Eriksen

71. Well then...
It's a good move down the right. O'Hare picks out Tavares on the Coventry right.
He looks up and picks out Simms in the middle with a cross. He's virtually all alone, eight yards out. The ball is just behind him but he swings his right foot at it and powers it into the bottom corner.
It's actually off his SHIN. But he won't mind. Neither the 36,000 behind the goal who go berserk.
GOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!!
COVENTRY HAVE ONE BACK - IT'S ELLIS SIMMS!
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
70. One of those funny moments (except when it happens to you).
O'Hare collects the ball inside the box and after taking a touch, Maguire steps across and uses strength to push him off the ball for a United goal kick.
Rob Jones points for a goal kick and the fans behind the goal cheer hugely, thinking a penalty has been awarded.

68. A rare effort at goal for Coventry.
A cross from the right picks out O'Hare in the box ahead of the near post. He throws himself at it in a flying motion but misses the target by quite some way.

65. United change:
- OFF: Garnacho
- ON: Antony
He's not happy about it again, Garnacho. Someone hide his phone, quickly!
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
64. Another Coventry corner as a cross from the right takes a wicked deflection into the side of the net.
Again, it's curled onto the head of Maguire who heads away with ease.

63. Mark Robins makes a triple substitution:
- OFF: Kitching, Eccles & Latibeaudiere
- ON: Tavares, Binks & Torp
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
63. Maguire should have two to his name!
The deep free kick finds Casemiro all alone who heads back into the danger area.
The break of the ball lands to Maguire 10 yards out and he stabs an effort at goal but sends it over the bar!
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
62. Free kick United. Midway inside the Coventry half as the big men push forward.
