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 1-2 Liverpool
70 mins: United launch their first attack of the last 10 minutes but Fernandes’ long ball is too long for Garnacho.
Szoboszlai is replaced by Harvey Elliott for the visitors, while United bring on Antony and Maguire for Hojlund and Wan-Bissaka.
69 mins: United look out of shape here as Liverpool look to take advantage, but Wan-Bissaka does well to intercept.
Salah plays it wide to Diaz, who exchanges passes with Robertson. Salah pops up in the middle and tries to send Nunez through, but they weren’t on the same wavelength there.

61 mins: The game has become a bit disjointed, but Liverpool continue to break through United’s leaky defence.
Nunez is the latest to get a shot on target. He squares Varane up and beats him too easily, but his shot is too close to Onana. From the corner, Nunez heads it down to Diaz but his half-volley is blocked.

60 mins: Joe Gomez is booked as he flies into the challenge and catches Wan-Bissaka. Probably not a booking if Fernandes’ challenge earlier wasn’t.
