Man City vs Liverpool LIVE: FA Cup semi-final result, final score and reaction as Reds reach final

Man City 2-3 Liverpool: Follow reaction after Liverpool and Manchester City play out another thriller as Reds reach first FA Cup final in a decade

Klopp has 'no idea' if Liverpool will benefit from Man City's Europe travels

Liverpool kept their bid for an unprecedented quadruple on track as their 3-2 FA Cup semi-final win also ended Manchester City’s hopes of a treble.

England’s top two teams served up another epic encounter but, having drawn 2-2 in the Premier League just six days ago, Jurgen Klopp’s side deservedly came out on top at Wembley.

It was not without a little help from City’s number two Zack Steffen, their designated cup goalkeeper, whose huge first-half error with the score at 1-0 contributed to the game getting away from them. Man of the match Sadio Mane scored twice to add to Ibrahima Konate’s opener as they raced into a 3-0 interval lead.

Goals from Jack Grealish, early in the second half, and Bernardo Silva, in added time, ensured Liverpool were never as comfortable as they wanted to be but, despite some concerted late City pressure, the seven-time winners booked a 15th final appearance.

The minute’s silence before the semi-final began to mark the 33rd anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster was stopped early after being disrupted by noise from the Manchester City fans.

Tottenham 0 - 0 Brighton

3 mins: Tottenham take too long knocking the ball around their own back line and Brighton nick it off Cristian Romero high up the pitch. Pascal Gross makes a decent run into the box but loses the ball to Eric Dier as he tries to cut back onto his right-foot. The ball comes loose and Emerson Royal boots it away for Spurs.

Kick off: Tottenham 0 - 0 Brighton

Brighton get the match started with a long ball up the right side of the pitch that Tottenham clear without too much trouble. The ball is knocked back to Marc Cucurella who sends it across to Brighton’s left wing. Harry Kane presses up the pitch and wins the ball sending Spurs into a slight counter-attack. He drives inside and lets fly with an early effort at goal that Robert Sanchez clings onto.

Here come the teams. This should be a decent game but history is not kind to Brighton. Tottenham have won their last eight fixtures played at home against Brighton.

Will they make it nine this afternoon?

This is Brighton’s fifth season in the Premier League since winning promotion in 2017 - and they could finish in the top-half of the table after securing 16th, 15th, 17th and 15th in the past four campaigns.

They start the weekend in 11th spot and will climb above Crystal Palace - who are in FA Cup semi-final action on Sunday - into 10th if they avoid defeat.

Brighton’s last six games after this are Manchester City (away), Southampton (home), Wolves (away), Manchester United (home), Leeds (away) and West Ham (home).
