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.

Son Heung-Min brings the ball down under pressure and turns towards goal. He scuttles back to create space to shoot but Joel Veltman is there to block it and clear for the visitors.

Antonio Conte bringing an infectious joy back to Tottenham amid pressure of top four run-in

When Antonio Conte took over at Tottenham just five short months ago, the despondency from Spurs fans was at its lowest ebb since Juande Ramos’ final hours back in 2008.

Five defeats, nine goals scored and 15 conceded in just ten Premier League matches was not pleasing reading for the swiftly sacked Nuno Espirito Santo.

The Portuguese coach was shown the exit door in double quick time not only because of the results but the manner of the displays. It was dull, restrained, reactionary football which only yielded more than one league goal on two occasions.

Tottenham 0 - 0 Brighton

There aren’t many highlights from that first half but it will be interesting to see if Enock Mwepu comes back out for Brighton after the break. He was growing in frustration and looked the most likely to see a second yellow card. Will Graham Potter risk going down to 10-men if Mwepu continues to throw himself about?

Half-time: Tottenham 0 - 0 Brighton

45+2 mins: Nothing to separate the two teams as they head into the break. Tottenham haven’t been at it, they’re a little sluggish, a little slow and a lacking in creativity.

Brighton have been decent but as is usually the case for Graham Potter’s men they’re lacking the clinical finish in the final third.

Tottenham 0 - 0 Brighton

45 mins: Two minutes of added time to play at the end of the first half. Mwepu is involved in a bit of argy bargy again and is tredding a fine line with the referee. Graham Potter needs to calm him down at half-time.

Tottenham 0 - 0 Brighton

42 mins: Enock Mwepu is another lucky man. He’s already on a yellow card and raise his foot high in an attempt to bring an aerial pass under control. He doesn’t spot Ben Davies approaching from behind and the Tottenham defender nips in front of Mwepu to head the ball clear. It’s a high foot from Mwepu but the referee awards a free kick to Spurs and keeps the cards in his pocket.

Tottenham 0 - 0 Brighton

39 mins: Chance! A simple long ball is won inside Brighton’s box by Harry Kane who heads it over to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Hojbjerg returns the ball after Kane rolls away from his marker but his shot gets closed down quickyl by Robert Sanchez. Good goalkeeping.

Tottenham 0 - 0 Brighton

36 mins: Brighton’s build-up has been solid. They’re getting the ball in and around Tottenham’s box pretty regularly but they don’t have many options when the ball comes into the middle. A cross from Pascal Gross comes over to Emerson Royal who has plenty of time and space to chest the ball safely down to Hugo Lloris with no threat from the Brighton forwards.
