Manchester United and their supporters have every reason to feel on top of the world. Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final clash saw the Red Devils manufacture an iconic comeback victory against rivals Liverpool. A tie which many saw to be an easy win for the Reds ended in an unexpected scoreline. 4-3 read the scoreboard as United fans went into pure bedlam.

Two late goals, one from Marcus Rashford and the other from Amad Diallo meant that United ‘finally’ got the better of Liverpool after being at their mercy on several occasions. The Ivorian forward hadn’t been able to find a regular spot in recent seasons as he was sent on multiple loan deals across England. However, he truly found a spot in the hearts of fans as he found the net in the dying seconds of the game.

Some saw that his winner was only fitting for his struggle and recovery following his injury at the start of the season.

Many said that his red card was the best red card ever. Tweets praising the youngster’s goal and spamming images of his celebration are making rounds on social media. Following the win, United are now in the semi-final of the competition and have to face Coventry City. The other semi-final features a far more exciting match-up in Manchester City vs Chelsea.
