Manchester, England: Amad scored in stoppage time of extra time to send Manchester United into the semifinals of the FA Cup with a dramatic 4-3 win against Liverpool on Sunday.

The substitute fired low into the bottom corner to beat Caoimhin Kelleher as United pounced late following a Liverpool corner.

United was later drawn against second-tier Coventry in the semifinals and defending champion Manchester City will play Chelsea, which beat Leicester 4-2 earlier Sunday. Both matches will take place at Wembley.

A thrilling quarterfinal match at Old Trafford had seen both teams give away leads in a clash between English soccer's biggest rivals.

Scott McTominay had put United ahead in the 10th minute before goals from Alexis Mac Allister in the 44th and Mohamed Salah in the second minute of first-half stoppage time gave Liverpool the lead at the break.

Antony leveled in the 87th to send the game into extra time at 2-2.

Harvey Elliott restored Liverpool's lead in the 105th and Marcus Rashford leveled again seven minutes later.

The game looked set to go to penalties before Amad's winner.

The forward was so caught up in his celebration that he was shown a second yellow card and sent off for removing his jersey.
