#Match Report : Ander Herrera sends United to FA Cup final

Manchester United booked their place in the FA Cup final with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham in a thrilling encounter at Wembley.

Ander Herrera was the unlikely United hero, firing a 62nd-minute winner after Alexis Sanchez cancelled out Dele Alli’s opener in a pulsating first half.

Spurs pushed for a route back into the game but it was heartbreak for Mauricio Pochettino’s men as the club’s miserable FA Cup semi-final record extended to eight consecutive defeats.
