Man united win shootout to set up up historic fa cup final against man city

Manchester United secured a thrilling victory in a penalty shootout against Brighton, setting up a historic FA Cup final against their cross-town rivals, Manchester City.

The match finished goalless after extra time, and it was United defender Victor Lindelof who stepped up to score the decisive spot-kick after Brighton’s Solly March sent his effort high over the bar.

The upcoming Wembley showdown promises to be a tense clash, given the fierce fan rivalry and City’s dominance over the past decade.

For Manchester United, it’s a chance to cap an encouraging first year under Dutch manager Erik ten Hag with a second major trophy, following their League Cup win.

Meanwhile, for Manchester City, this final could be the second leg of a historic treble, emulating United’s feat in 1999 when they won the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup all in the same season.
