Manchester United v Liverpool LIVE: FA Cup result and final score as Amad Diallo wins thriller in extra time
Manchester United beat their bitter rivals Liverpool in the most extraordinary FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford
Manchester United produced a stunning comeback to beat Liverpool 4-3 in an epic FA Cup quarter-final as Amad Diallo scored an 120th winner to deny Jurgen Klopp’s side their quadruple bid.
Diallo scored a breakaway goal at the death - and was then sent off for taking his shirt off in celebration - to send United through to Wembley in a dramatic finish at Old Trafford.
Liverpool had been minutes from the semi-finals, in what is Klopp’s final season at Anfield, but Marcus Rashford scored a 112th minute equaliser in extra time, before Diallo’s remarkable winner.
United will play Coventry City in the semi-finals, while the FA Cup draw handed holders Manchester City a Wembley date with Chelsea.

Man United 1-0 Liverpool
19 mins: Wan-Bissaka intercepts and sets Rashford off on the counter, but Endo and Quansah do well to shepherd Rashford out of play for a goal kick.
Man United 1-0 Liverpool
18 mins: Much has been made of how many shots United have conceded in each of their last few games, and it looks like that trend may continue today. Szoboszlai keeps in a long ball in the United box and lays it off to Gomez, but he cuts across the shot and it goes over.
Man United 1-0 Liverpool
16 mins: Garnacho wins a foul after a challenge from Mac Allister. United are trying to calm the play down a bit here, and ten Hag is having words with Dalot.
Fernandes delivers the free-kick deep, but it goes out of play. It was a good delivery, so he’ll be irritated that there wasn’t more effort made to get on the end of it.
Man United 1-0 Liverpool
14 mins: Liverpool were just beginning to threaten before the goal. They won’t panic now, of course.
They fashion their first chance since the goal as Robertson skips past Garnacho and lays it off to Diaz. The Colombian gives Robertson the cut-back, but his shot soars over the bar.
Man United 1-0 Liverpool
12 mins: United have another decent chance as the ball falls to Garnacho in the box, but Robertson blocks well for a corner. Dalot receives it but blasts a shot well over.
GOAL! Man United 1-0 Liverpool
10 mins: GOAL! McTominay gives United the lead!
Rashfors gets down the left and holds play up well. He exchanges passes with Fernandes before slipping Garnacho through in-behind the defence.
The Argentine opens his body up and hits a shot at Kelleher, who saves well, but the rebound falls to Scott McTominay for a tap-in.
Man United 0-0 Liverpool
9 mins: CLOSE! A chance for Salah! For many it wouldn’t be a great chance, but Salah hits a great shot across goal as a clipped cross is sent towards him on the left. Onana was scrambling, but it goes just wide of the far post. Best chance so far.
7 mins: Disappointing from Mainoo as he hits a pass straight out of play for a throw. Liverpool have possession and are knocking it around the back, but they fashion a decent chance as they work it down the right. Unfortunately for them, the cross is poor and it’s cleared.
Man United 0-0 Liverpool
6 mins: Liverpool’s first shot on target as Szoboszlai hits one straight at Onana. United have just edged it in the first five minutes – not that that means much.
