Manchester United are heading to Wembley Stadium for an anticipated FA Cup semi-final after goals from Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic defeated Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford.
ANALYSIS
ManUtd.com’s Mark Froggatt…
“All that mattered on Saturday night was that we won the game. I’m sure everyone wanted to see something a little bit more spectacular on the pitch, but the win is enough. We got the first goal, hung on a little bit when Brighton responded well, scored a second goal and crucially secured progress to the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley. On the whole, it’s a successful night for the club.
“Undoubtedly, after scoring a goal each, Lukaku and Matic were our outstanding performances, which will please the manager after he reserved praise for the pair during his well-documented press conference on Friday. His two summer signings delivered the goods when the pressure was on.”
