COVENTRY 3-3 MANCHESTER UNITED: Erik ten Hag's side win as Coventry succumb 4-2 on penalties after a remarkable comeback from 3-0 down by Championship side at Wembley
Manchester United needed penalties to beat Coventry and reach the FA Cup final after throwing away a three-goal lead and surviving a tight offside decision in extra-time.
Bruno Fernandes ' deflected strike made it 3-0 and United appeared to be in control before Coventry mounted a comeback. Ellis Simms gave the 36,000 Sky Blues fans something to cheer by rifling a first-time effort past Andre Onana before Callum O'Hare's shot took a huge deflection off Aaron Wan-Bissaka and looped into the corner to give Coventry hope.
Casemiro's casual effort was saved first up by Brad Collins but Onana saved from O'Hare to level it up and Ben Sheaf skied his effort over the bar to allow Hojlund the winning moment. Here are the talking points from a dramatic afternoon at Wembley. The 27-year-old will likely continue to divide opinion among United fans. Depending on your perspective, he's either an incredibly useful academy graduate who works hard and scores big goals, or a limited, error-prone player who is a symbol of how far standards have dropped at the once-great club. Given what came after, this goal is unlikely to change peoples' minds.
Simms strikes The Sky Blues saw off Oxford United, Sheffield Wednesday, Maidstone and Wolves to book a second trip to Wembley within a year. They suffered heart-break in the play-off final against Luton in May, but the spirit in Robbins' side is something else. He appeared on the big screen early in the second half, sat alongside Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who had hot-footed it over from the Mall after completing the London Marathon in a personal best time of 4:30:52. The boos were immediate and loud – and just to be clear who they were intended for, the fans followed them with a chant of “We want Glazers out!”
