MANCHESTER UNITED 4-3 LIVERPOOL (AET): Amad Diallo scored the winner in the 120th minute - and was sent off for his troubles after taking off his shirt having already been booked - as Erik ten Hag's side kept their trophy hopes alive

Manchester United ended Liverpool's quadruple hopes with a remarkable 4-3 extra-time win at Old Trafford in the FA Cup, thanks to Amad's 120th minute winner.

But Rashford made amends, a fine finish into the bottom corner making it 3-3, before, with penalties looming, Alejandro Garnacho broke clear and fed Amad, who struck the winner to send United to Wembley and keep their trophy hopes alive.1. United’s fast start With the two sides experiencing very different fortunes in the Premier League this season, Roy Keane said pre-game: “ Liverpool are in a better place right now, they’ve got better players.

What happened next was somewhat indicative of United’s season. Jarrell Quansah strode forwards, approached the penalty area after dancing past a few challenges, and eventually the ball found its way to Mac Allister who, albeit aided by a deflection, found the net. The indication from the Kop boss was clear. Salah’s record for Liverpool against United is second to none.

You can only assume Salah isn't yet ready for a full 90 minutes and that he needed to be protected. It goes without saying that his return to full fitness is a huge boost to their title and European hopes. But perhaps it was an error to take him out here.
