In today's FA Cup Semi-final, Manchester United lost to Everton on penalties, 4-2. The score after extra-time was 0-0.
Chelsea, after beating Arsenal yesterday, will face off with Everton in the finals at Wembley. Both blues (Chelsea and Everton) overcame their red adversaries (Arsenal and Manchester United) to book a place in the final.
Lucky Colour of the Week: Blue.
Penalty summary:
Everton's Cahill starts his run up.. and blasts the ball up and over the bar!
United's Berbatov steps up to the spot. He shoots. . . Howard saves! Berba's cheeky pass down the middle was stopped by Tim's legs. Howard jumped to his right but somehow managed to get his legs in the way of Berba's shot.
Everton's regular penalty taker Baine steps up. He shoots. . and SCORES! Slams the ball into the roof of the net. Foster stood no chance.
It's United's captain, Rio Ferdinand, to take United's 2nd penalty. Rio sends the ball to his left. . . but Howard palms it away! 1-0 to Everton!
Former United player Phil Neville, and Everton's captain, steps up to take the third penalty. He starts his run up.. and calmly sends Foster the wrong way. 2-0. The ball snuggled into the bottom left corner.
United sends Vidic for the 3rd penalty. Vidic is taking quite a long run up. He starts his run. . oh! Vidic checks his run! Howard is caught off-guard. Vidic continues his run up. . and dispatches it into the bottom left corner! Howard dived the wrong way! The ball went in off the post!
It's 2-1 now. Game on. Everton's extra-time substitute, Vaughan, takes on Foster for the fourth penalty. Vaughan starts his run-up, and scores! Foster went the right way, but was helpless against a shot of such calibre. 3-1 to Everton.
If United misses this penalty, It'll be all over for the Red Devils. Anderson steps up to the task. He starts his run. . and calmly dispatches the penalty. 3-2. Anderson winks to the fans ;) There's a glimmer of hope for United.
Everton's Jagielka will be taking the fifth penalty. If this goes in, it'll be all over for United Quintuple dreams. Jagielka starts his run. . and SCORES! 4-2 is the final score, on penalties; Everton have booked their tickets to the FA Cup Final!
