GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!!
GAME ON AT WEMBLEY – O’HARE SCORES WITH 12 MINUTES TO GO!
Coventry 1-3 Man Utd
75. United keeping the ball to take the sting out of things at the moment.
Dalot and Antony combine before the latter tries to find Eriksen with a ball in behind but it’s overhit and scooped up by Collins.
Coventry 1-3 Man Utd
73. United change:
- OFF: Mainoo
- ON: Eriksen
Coventry 1-3 Man Utd
71. Well then…
It’s a good move down the right. O’Hare picks out Tavares on the Coventry right.
He looks up and picks out Simms in the middle with a cross. He’s virtually all alone, eight yards out. The ball is just behind him but he swings his right foot at it and powers it into the bottom corner.
It’s actually off his SHIN. But he won’t mind. Neither the 36,000 behind the goal who go berserk.
GOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!!
COVENTRY HAVE ONE BACK – IT’S ELLIS SIMMS!
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
70. One of those funny moments (except when it happens to you).
O’Hare collects the ball inside the box and after taking a touch, Maguire steps across and uses strength to push him off the ball for a United goal kick.
Rob Jones points for a goal kick and the fans behind the goal cheer hugely, thinking a penalty has been awarded.
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
68. A rare effort at goal for Coventry.
A cross from the right picks out O’Hare in the box ahead of the near post. He throws himself at it in a flying motion but misses the target by quite some way.
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
65. United change:
- OFF: Garnacho
- ON: Antony
He’s not happy about it again, Garnacho. Someone hide his phone, quickly!
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
64. Another Coventry corner as a cross from the right takes a wicked deflection into the side of the net.
Again, it’s curled onto the head of Maguire who heads away with ease.
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
63. Mark Robins makes a triple substitution:
- OFF: Kitching, Eccles & Latibeaudiere
- ON: Tavares, Binks & Torp
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
63. Maguire should have two to his name!
The deep free kick finds Casemiro all alone who heads back into the danger area.
The break of the ball lands to Maguire 10 yards out and he stabs an effort at goal but sends it over the bar!
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
62. Free kick United. Midway inside the Coventry half as the big men push forward.
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
60. Coventry win a corner from the restart.
Again, United deal with it well.
Coventry 0-3 Man Utd
59. A contrast in quality and it was shown there.
Coventry with a chance to get one back when a deep cross finds Wright. He takes his time, dithers on it and allows United to get back into a shape.
The move eventually breaks down after some slow play and it’s cleared to Garnacho who springs the counter.
Fernandes and Rashford involved before the former picks the ball up inside the box and on his left foot, he works some room and smashes low and hard at goal, sneaking in at the front post.
A Manchester derby final it is – again!
GOOOOAAAALLLL!!!
3-0 – BRUNO FERNANDES WRAPS UP THIS SEMI FINAL!
Coventry 0-2 Man Utd
56. The marathon man has made it for the second half – just as he’d hoped!
A respectable four hours, 30 minutes and 52 seconds it took Sir Jim Ratcliffe to complete the race this morning.
Coventry 0-2 Man Utd
56. Defended easily.
United almost spring a counter but Fernandes’ ball forward is poor and easily cut out.
Coventry 0-2 Man Utd
55. Great defending from Wan-Bissaka to stop van Ewijk getting onto the end of a cross.
He touches it behind for a corner to Coventry in front of their own fans.
Coventry 0-2 Man Utd
54. Coventry just snapping into the tackle a bit more now.
Fernandes and Garnacho both sent flying in the same move as the Sky Blues fans behind the goal start to get excited.
Coventry 0-2 Man Utd
52. United lose the ball cheaply on the edge of their own box and Coventry are pressing higher here.
The ball ricochets to Sheaf who snatches at a shot 25 yards from goal which rolls harmlessly wide.
Coventry 0-2 Man Utd
50. Fernandes lays it off to Rashford to strike from 25 yards out at a better angle but it’s blocked and Coventry clear.
Coventry 0-2 Man Utd
49. United launch a counter attack through Rashford, who drives 45 yards up the pitch.
He cuts in from the left when approaching the box and is brought down.
22 yards from goal but wide on the left. Probably too far left for a shot at goal.
Coventry 0-2 Man Utd
47. So very nearly three!
Fernandes picks the ball up on the left corner of the 18-yard box and works the ball onto his right foot.
He sends a dipping, curling attempt towards the far post and it misses the post by a matter of centimetres. It had Collins scrambling anyway!
Coventry 0-2 Man Utd
46. It does look like a change of shape for the Championship side, going to a back four.
SECOND HALF
Coventry City get the second half up and running!
