Manchester United v Liverpool LIVE: FA Cup result and final score as Amad Diallo wins thriller in extra time | OneFootball

Jurgen Klopp addresses retirement reversal rumours

Manchester United produced a stunning comeback to beat Liverpool 4-3 in an epic FA Cup quarter-final as Amad Diallo scored an 120th winner to deny Jurgen Klopp’s side their quadruple bid.

Diallo scored a breakaway goal at the death - and was then sent off for taking his shirt off in celebration - to send United through to Wembley in a dramatic finish at Old Trafford.

Liverpool had been minutes from the semi-finals, in what is Klopp’s final season at Anfield, but Marcus Rashford scored a 112th minute equaliser in extra time, before Diallo’s remarkable winner.

United will play Coventry City in the semi-finals, while the FA Cup draw handed holders Manchester City a Wembley date with Chelsea.

FULL-TIME! Man United 4-3 Liverpool

Erik ten Hag was skipping down the touchline in ungainly, awkward joy. A match to save Manchester United’s season, in his own description, may end up saving his job. It certainly ensured that Liverpool will not win the quadruple, that Jurgen Klopp’s reign will not end at Wembley in May’s FA Cup final and, as a result, that he will not face Pep Guardiola in England again.

But while United often delight in Liverpool’s misfortunes, the euphoria reflected an extraordinary end to an epic encounter. This was about United, about the manner of their rescue act and the improbability of it all. Amad Diallo’s lone United goal came three years ago. He has been a bit-part figure at best, but he emerged from margins to come off the bench, deliver an extra-time winner and be sent off for his celebration. While Ten Hag danced, Amad removed his shirt, at a cost of a second caution, but the telling part was the lightning counter-attack, Alejandro Garnacho releasing the Ivorian to slide his shot past Caoimhin Kelleher.

FA to work with police over ‘tragedy chanting’

The Football Association has vowed to work with Greater Manchester Police as it condemned the “tragedy chanting” heard during Manchester United’s FA Cup quarter-final win over rivals Liverpool on Sunday.

Chants of ‘Murderers’ and ‘Always the victims’ could be heard coming from a section of home supporters in the Stretford End at Old Trafford, with the singing audible on the live television broadcast on ITV 1.

The taunts were in reference to the Hillsborough disaster, where 97 Liverpool supporters lost their lives at or as a result of the FA Cup semi-final in April 1989.

Man Utd vs Liverpool player ratings from FA Cup classic

Manchester United and Liverpool played out one of the all-time great FA Cup ties at Old Trafford as Amad Diallo’s 120th-minute winner settled a seven-goal thriller to send Erik ten Hag’s side through to the semi-finals.

Diallo’s breakaway strike deep into extra time denied Jurgen Klopp one last Wembley trip as Liverpool’s quadruple bid came crashing down at then hands of their fierce rivals, who managed to save their season in dramatic fashion.

Diallo was sent off after celebrating his winner, which came after Marcus Rashford had rescued United with a 112th-minute equaliser. Harvey Elliott had given Liverpool the lead in extra time but Klopp’s side were punished after wasting several chances in the second half.

Scott McTominay gave United a deserved lead in the 10th minute before Liverpool turned the game around through goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah before half-time. The Reds dominated the second half but were wasteful and Antony came off the bench to send the quarter-final tie to extra time.

Erik ten Hag speaks to ITV

It is the United manager’s turn to speak to the media now. He says that “the first 30 minutes was the best of our whole season”.

“We were acting as a team but then we got gaps between the lines and you can’t allow this against one of the best teams in Europe. They outplayed us.

“Then we made changes, we took risks and the players were wonderful. The attitude was great, a strong belief to win this game.

“We have a team that is for the future. Coming up are players who are developing very well like Diallo, Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo.”

Diallo was next to speak to the media and he’s clearly delighted, though he says he forgot about his first yellow when he decided to take his shirt off while celebrating. He’ll miss the next league game.

He says that today is a “dream come true”.

“That goal will give me a lot of confidence and I want to continue like this. I’m very happy. The most important thing is to win this game.

“I wanted to give it back to Garnacho but I see the defender and I have to go on my own. It is unbelievable, it is a dream for me to score the last goal for Manchester United.

“It is one of the best games of the season so we want to continue like this.”
