Man United to face Man City in FA Cup final
Manchester United defeated Brighton in a nail-biting penalty shootout at a soggy Wembley Stadium to advance to their first FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Victor Lindelof of the Manchester United defense scored the game-winning penalty kick in a game that ended scoreless after extra time after Solly March’s shot went high over the crossbar.
As a result, Erik ten Hag’s team, which had won the Carabao Cup in February, has advanced to its second domestic final of the year.
Both goalkeepers performed admirably in a feisty semifinal that fell short of expectations, with David de Gea making many superb stops and Robert Sanchez of Brighton expertly stopping Marcus Rashford’s deflected shot in extra time.
