Coventry City 3-3 Manchester United (Manchester United win 4-2 on penalties)
Manchester United scraped through to the FA Cup final after originally being 3-0 up in a game that should have been straight forward for the Red Devils. Goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes gave United what many would have thought was an unassailable lead at 58 minutes, but Coventry had other ideas. Simms, O’Hare and Wright made the scores level, which took the game to extra time. Manchester United eventually went on to win 4-2 on penalties, setting up another Manchester derby in the FA Cup Final.
