Manchester United 2 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur
April 2018, FA Cup
Late strikes from Alexis Sanchez and Ander Herrera – both of whom are not in the current United squad – scripted yet another semifinal nightmare for Tottenham in the 2018 FA Cup.
Spurs, who were playing at their adopted home, the Wembley Stadium, secured an early lead through Dele Alli's goal in the 11th minute. However, Sanchez stepped up in the 24th minute, scoring his third goal in seven appearances against Tottenham.
The goal originated from an excellent solo effort from Paul Pogba, who dislodged the ball from Mousa Dembele's feet and provided a sublime cross to the far post. Sanchez, who leaped up for a strong header, did the rest.
The second half began on an even but tense footing between the two sides, which continued until the 62nd minute. It was then that Tottenham's dreams of reaching the final were crushed once again, as Herrera found the net after Jesse Lingard provided a smart assist from Lukaku's mistimed first touch.
United thus reached their 20th FA Cup final – a record they jointly hold with Arsenal.
