The FA Cup quarter-final clash between Manchester United vs Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday will undoubtedly be remembered as a classic encounter. The 4-3 victory for United, secured by a dramatic late winner from Amad Diallo, saw the momentum swing wildly throughout the match, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

Highlights Of The Manchester United vs Liverpool FA Cup Match

United scored the first one in the 10th minute. A well-timed run by Alejandro Garnacho opened up space for a shot, which was parried by the Liverpool keeper but only fell to Scott McTominay, who slotted home his ninth goal of the season. However, Liverpool responded just before halftime. A deflected effort from Alexis Mac Allister beat Andre Onana in the United goal to level the score at 1-1.

The drama continued as Liverpool seized the lead shortly after. A Darwin Nunez shot was saved, but the rebound fell kindly to Mohamed Salah, who tapped in for his 13th goal in 14 games against Manchester United. Just when it seemed Liverpool were in control, Manchester United staged a dramatic fightback. In the 87th minute, the much-criticized Antony weaved his magic in the box, losing his defenders before firing a low shot past the goalkeeper to send Old Trafford into a frenzy.

The closing stages of regulation time saw both sides miss golden opportunities. Marcus Rashford had a glorious chance one-on-one with the keeper but could only fire wide, while Liverpool also rattled the post.

Extra Time Thriller

The tension only intensified in extra time. After Rashford spurned a clear-cut chance, Liverpool capitalized when Harvey Elliot's long-range effort took a deflection and found the back of the net. However, United refused to be beaten. Rashford redeemed himself with a composed finish from close range, setting the stage for a grand finale.

With the clock ticking down in the final minute of extra time, Manchester United produced a moment of magic. A quick counter-attack saw Garnacho find Amad Diallo with a perfectly-weighted pass. The young Ivorian kept his cool and slotted the ball past the keeper, sending the United faithful into delirium. Diallo received a red card for his overzealous celebration, but it mattered little. Manchester United had secured a historic victory and a place in the FA Cup semi-finals. This match between Manchester United vs Liverpool will go down in history as a cup thriller for the ages.
