United and City to clash in FA Cup Final After Penalty Shootout Thriller
Red Devils Survive Scare Against Lower-League Coventry
Manchester United have booked their place in the 2024 FA Cup final after overcoming a spirited Coventry City side in a dramatic penalty shootout on Saturday.
A Tale of Two Halves
The Red Devils enjoyed a dream start at the Coventry Building Society Arena, taking a commanding 3-0 lead thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, and Jadon Sancho.
However, Coventry fought back valiantly in the second half. Viktor Gyokeres, Fabio Tavares, and Martyn Waghorn all found the net to send the game into extra time and eventually penalties.
Nervy Shootout
The shootout proved to be a nail-biter. Both teams converted their first four penalties, but it was United who ultimately prevailed. David de Gea saved Gustavo Hamer's effort, while Anthony Elanga converted the winning penalty to send his team into the final.
Manchester United will now face Manchester City in the FA Cup final on May 19th. The game promises to be a tantalizing clash between two of the Premier League's heavyweights.
