Bruno Fernandes' Superb Free-Kick Gives Manchester United Victory
Report as Amad Diallo Scores a 121st-Minute Winner
Bruno Fernandes' superb 78th-minute free-kick gave Manchester United victory in a thrilling FA Cup tie with old rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford. However, the drama was not over as Amad Diallo scored a stunning winner in the 121st minute to send the home fans into raptures.
The match was a tale of two halves, with United dominating the first and Liverpool the second. The Red Devils took the lead through Jadon Sancho in the 16th minute, but Mohamed Salah equalized for the Reds just after the hour mark. Marcus Rashford then restored United's advantage in the 53rd minute, but Salah struck again in the 81st minute to level the scores once more.
As the match entered extra time, it seemed like the teams were destined for a penalty shootout. However, Diallo had other ideas. The young winger picked up the ball on the left flank and drove into the Liverpool penalty area. He then unleashed a powerful shot that flew into the top corner of the net, giving United a dramatic victory.
The win was a huge boost for United, who have been in poor form in recent weeks. It also ended Liverpool's hopes of winning the FA Cup for a second consecutive year.
