#MatchReport: Ander Herrara’s Goal Leads United To FA Cup Final

23/05/2018
Fahad

Spurs started at a ferocious pace and fully deserved the early lead they took. Jose Mourinho’s side survived the attack and levelled on 24 minutes, Wembley specialist Alexis Sanchez rising to direct an athletic header across Spurs keeper Michel Vorm. Eric Dier’s deflected shot hit the post on the stroke of half-time but Spurs had lost key momentum. Herrera’s crisp low finish just after the hour set up an FA Cup final date for United with Chelsea or Southampton on 19 May. It left Spurs suffering more FA Cup semi-final pain and with a losing sequence stretching back to their win in the last four against Arsenal here in 1991.
