Man. United Beat Brighton In Penalties To Reach FA Cup Final

Manchester United have set up the first Manchester derby in FA Cup final clash after defeating Brighton 6-5 on penalties in the second semi-final on Sunday.

Gatekeepers News reports that a penalty shootout became paramount after a goalless encounter throughout the duration and on extra time.

Erik Ten Hag’s men converted all seven kicks while Brighton’s single miss saw them out of the competition.

United will face City at Wembley on Saturday, 3 June for the trophy.

This is the third time the Red Devils are reaching the final of both the League Cup and FA Cup in the same season.

United goalkeeper De Gea told BBC One that it was a very tight game as they played a very good team.

De Gea said, “Brighton play really good football. We are now in the final but we have another big game on Thursday so we need to go home and recover.

“They were great penalties. I was prepared as always. I tried to put pressure on the takers. There’s still a long way to the final but it will be a big game against one of the best teams in Europe and the world.

“We showed at home we can beat them [Man City] so let’s hope. We are on the right track. One trophy, another final, and fighting for the top four. It’s not enough but it’s a big step from last season.”
