This was not another derby, this was not a night like any other, this was historical, this was epic!Manchester United are in the FA Cup semi-final after beating Liverpool 4-3 in a mouth-watering battle at Old Trafford on Sunday night!It was not a football game but a crazy rollercoaster which saw Liverpool being inches away from a deserved 2-1 win in the regular time before Antony’s equalizer took us to extra time. In the additional 30 minutes, the visitors were in front once again, thanks to Harvey Elliot’s goal, but the Red Devils recreated some of that 1999 Champions League final magic to score twice in the last few minutes for a total comeback sealed with Amad Diallo’s 120th-minute winner!AN INCREDIBLE END TO ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE DERBY GAMES YOU WILL HAVE EVER SEEN.Step forward, Sir Amad Diallo ♥️@ManUtd have won it in extra-time with seconds to go!!!#EmiratesFACup pic.twitter.com/Avyx1vE857— Emirates FA Cup (@EmiratesFACup) March 17, 2024 So what happened in those two hours of utter madness, you might ask? Fasten your seatbelts…Aside from a surprisingly convincing start to the match embellished with Scott McTomminay’s opener, the Red Devils were as lacklustre as possible for almost opening 80 minutes.A real poachers goal from Scott McTominay there.1-0.pic.twitter.com/5sGr31m7JN— Snook (@utdsnook) March 17, 2024 On the other hand, Jurgen Klopp’s injury-torn side did have a slow start but afterwards reacted just the way it should and turned things around in front of a hostile crowd.A couple of Andre Onana’s saves kept United alive for most of the first half, but not even the Cameroonian custodian could prevent them from conceding in the dying minutes before the break. Mac Allister – who’s been in incredible form these days – fired low into the far corner for the equalizer in the 44th minute.Mac Allister steps up once again with a HUGE goal. pic.twitter.com/7dw1PogCTd— Anything Liverpool (@AnythingLFC_) March 17, 2024 The hosts were on the ropes, but it was still far from over, unfortunately for Erik ten Hag. His midfield was overrun, but it was even worse in terms of defending, as Salah, of all the players, had all the time and place in the world to make it 2-1 two minutes into the added time.Manchester United fans,Who is to be blamed for Mo Salah ‘s goal that has given Liverpool the lead?#MUNLIV#EmiratesFACuppic.twitter.com/n5QMFxJBe1— New Sheriff⚓ (@NewsheriffUtd) March 17, 2024 The second half looked as if it was Liverpool’s playground, with Szoboszlai and Mac Allister controlling the tempo and keeping United far from any promising action in front of Kelleher.However, things unexpectedly changed near the end, out of the blue, with Antony netting it from the most challenging position possible, past not less than three Reds’ defenders with his weaker foot.ANTONY HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.WITH HIS RIGHT FOOT. pic.twitter.com/vXwToomth7— Adam (@AdamJoseph____) March 17, 2024 The game went into extra time, and at the very end of the first period, Harvey Elliot fired from a distance. The ball deflected off Eriksen’s block and rushed away from Onana for 2-3.⚽️ GOAL: ELLIOT GIVES LIVERPOOL THE LEAD!!!Manchester United 2-3 Liverpool pic.twitter.com/8yObP6UA3E— AnfieldIndex (@AnfieldIndex) March 17, 2024 Thankfully for the Red Devils, where Maguire failed, Rashford didn’t. McTominay added an assist to his masterful attacking performance, and the England international fired superbly to make it 3-3.Rashford’s goal 🤝 pic.twitter.com/J9JERlsHkW— UtdPlug (@UtdPlug) March 17, 2024 Liverpool were attacking, but Elliot’s slow reaction following United’s defence clearance triggered an excellent counter. Garnacho ran with the ball for almost 60 yards before deploying Amad Diallo on the left and his finishing was so immaculate that Kelleher stood no chance!AMAD DIALLO’S FIRST MAN UNITED GOAL IN THREE YEARS TAKES THEM TO WEMBLEY 😱 pic.twitter.com/UP1W09L63d— CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) March 17, 2024 Seventh goal of the game and an FA Cup semi-final ticket in Ten Hag’s pocket after his probably most memorable match in the Red Devils’ dugout. To make it even more surreal (if actually possible), Diallo was sent off seconds later for taking off his shirt and getting a deserved second yellow card. But it was worth it, wasn’t it!pic.twitter.com/pAIiPdiliy— Out Of Context Football (@nocontextfooty) March 17, 2024 FA CUPSaturday Wolves – Coventry 2-3 (0-0)/Nouri 82, Bueno 88 – Simms 53, 90+7, Wright 90+10/Man City – Newcastle 2-0 (2-0)/Bernardo Silva 13,31/Sunday Chelsea – Leicester 4-2 (2-0)/Cucurella 13, Palmer 45+1, Chukwuemeka 90+2, Madueke 90+8 – Disasi 51 og, Mavididi 62/Man Utd – Liverpool 4-3 a.e.t (2-2)/McTominay 10, Antony 87, Rashford 112, Diallo 120+1 – Mac Allister 44, Salah 45+2, Elliot 105/
