The Red Devils in the FA Cup semi-final
In extra time, Elliott (105) put the Reds ahead again thanks to a shot that deflected off the opposition defender. However, the Red Devils equalized again, after McTominay put Rashford (112) in front of goal. When everyone thought the match would be decided on penalties, Diallo (120'+1) scored the winning goal after a counterattack started by Jarnacho. The 21-year-old took off his shirt during the celebrations and received a second yellow card.
“This season has not been as good as we want, but we want to improve. We have always said that our goal is to be in the top four and try to win the FA Cup, and we will do everything we can.” “I can achieve these goals. The FA Cup is a big trophy for this club,” Bruno Fernandes said. Jurgen Klopp highlighted the behavior of Liverpool players. “The players have once again shown amazing character. We will deal with this result well,” the German coach stressed.
In the next stage, the Red Devils will face second-tier club Coventry on April 20.

Before the end of the first half, Sterling missed a penalty kick (26), but made up for it with an assist to Palmer (45+1).

Leicester achieved a draw and equalized thanks to Mavididi (60). After Doyle's expulsion (73), Chelsea took control again and Chukwuemeka advanced (90+2) to the team. There was still time for Maduki (90'+8) to extend the score.
