Manchester United were made to wait till the 14th kick of the penalty shoot outs on Sunday to confirm their FA Cup final ticket after a thrilling regulation plus extra time show.
Solly March’s spot-kick miss saw Brighton suffer semi-final shoot-out exit from the FA Cup just as United were bundled out of the Europa league in their three days ago in their quarter final clash against Sevilla.
Victor Lindelof stepped up after March blew over his own kick and gave United the headway into their 21st FA Cup final.
United will now be looking forward to securing their second trophy in the current season when they take on their arch rivals, Manchester City in the final at Wembley Stadium.
The Citizens had earlier thumped Sheffield United 3-0 on Saturday with Algerian Riyad Mahrez scoring the historical hat-trick for Guardiola’s side.
