FA Cup

Erik ten Hag's side beat Brighton 7-6 on penalties to set up meeting with Man City

Victor Lindelof scored the winning spot-kick as Manchester United beat Brighton & Hove Albion 7-6 on penalties in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium.

After the match ended goalless following extra-time, Lindelof stepped up to convert from 12 yards and set up a meeting with Manchester City in the final on Saturday 3 June.

Pep Guardiola's side had booked their place in the final, thanks to a Riyad Mahrez hat-trick in a 3-0 win over Sheffield United.

It is Man Utd’s first appearance in an FA Cup final since 2018, when they lost 1-0 to Chelsea and now means they will equal Arsenal's record of 21 appearances in the final of the competition.

The result also keeps alive their hopes of a domestic cup double, having won the EFL Cup in February, their first trophy under Erik ten Hag.

Next up for Man Utd is a Premier League trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, while Brighton travel to Nottingham Forest.
