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.
The young winger has made little impact during an injury hit season back at the club this term, but he stole the headlines with an extra-time winner – before being sent off for his celebration – after a breathtaking game.
Scott McTominay gave United an early lead only for Liverpool to turn it round before half-time thanks to Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah. That looked set to be enough for Jurgen Klopp’s side, until Antony struck a late equaliser.
Marcus Rashford should have won it with the last kick of the game, stroking wide when clean through, and he’d have been left devastated after Harvey Elliott put Liverpool ahead in extra-time.

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 in pff the post to send United to Wembley and keep their trophy hopes alive.
