Manchester United have qualified for their first FA Cup final in nine years after beatinv Everton 2-1 at Wembley.

 

Anthony Martial netted an injury time winner after setting up former Everton midfielder, Marounane Fellaini for United's first in the 34th minute.

Everton had an early chance to take the lead when Romelu Lukaku took the ball round David De Gea but, from a difficult angle, his effort was blocked on the line by Wayne Rooney.

Everton had a golden opportunity to level just before the hour mark when Timothy Fosu-Mensah was deemed to have fouled Ross Barkley in the area, but De Gea made a good save from Lukaku’s penalty.

That had looked costly when Everton drew level with 15 minutes to play when Chris Smalling diverted Gerard Deulofeu’s cross into his own net, prompting a thrilling spell as both sides went all out for victory.
