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.

We should be in for an interesting period of extra-time here. United’s changes mean that their only recognised defenders on the pitch are Dalot, Maguire and Lindelof – you’d think they’ll need some back-up if they want to make it through unscathed.
For Liverpool, Salah is now off, but the attacking threat remains.
United get us underway once more.

94 mins: CLOSE!! Oh my word! How has he not hit the target there?
Rashford HAS to score here. Eriksen clips a lovely ball over the Liverpool defence and Rashford is one his own, one-v-one with the ‘keeper. He takes it down expertly, has the time to sidefoot a finish, but hits it wide!
That was the place in the semi-final right there!
