FA Cup Final ManC v ManU
Manchester United thought they were cruising to a repeat of last season’s final with neighbours Manchester City when they led Coventry City 3-0, but then United imploded and the Championship club took full advantage, and came back to 3-3, only to lose, due to VAR, in the penalty shootout.
Coventry City came back from 3-0 down, forced extra-time, had the better chances in extra-time and thought they’d won it through Victor Torp who seemed to have scored in the very last minute of extra time.
But for the narrowest of offsides, when Wright, who crossed the ball for Torp, was offside by about two cms, VAR disallowed the goal.
Manchester United would have been dumped out in spectacular fashion, but it wasn’t to be.
When Hojlund scored that final penalty for Manchester United, few, if any, United players really celebrated.
It’s not hard to see why. Coventry humiliated them from the 71st minute and should have won!
The second club in the final is Manchester City that won 1-0 v. Chelsea on Saturday courtesy to a late Bernardo Silva goal.
