Classic Encounter Ends with Thrilling Conclusion
Man Utd Edge Out Reds in Extra Time Epic
The highly anticipated north-west derby between Manchester United and Liverpool lived up to its billing on Sunday, as the Red Devils emerged victorious in a 4-3 thriller after extra time.
With both teams chasing Premier League and European glory, the stakes were high in the FA Cup fifth-round clash. Liverpool drew first blood through Mo Salah's early penalty, but United responded through Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford.
The game swung back in Liverpool's favor when Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota scored to make it 3-2, but Bruno Fernandes equalized for United with just minutes remaining in regulation time.
In extra time, it was substitute Anthony Elanga who proved to be the hero for United. The young Swedish winger scored a dramatic winner in the 117th minute, sending Old Trafford into raptures.
The victory gives Manchester United a huge boost in their quest for silverware this season. They will now face Leicester City in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, while Liverpool's hopes of a quadruple have been dented.
