Liverpool Beat Manchester City 3-2 To Reach FA Cup Final
NDTV
Liverpool beat Manchester City 3-2 in the FA Cup semi-final to keep alive their hopes for a historic quadruple.
Liverpool reached the FA Cup final as Sadio Mane's double inspired a 3-2 win over Manchester City that kept alive their quadruple bid and shattered their rivals' treble hopes. Jurgen Klopp's side are chasing an unprecedented clean-sweep of the four major trophies in a single season. They remain on course to achieve that incredible target after a scintillating first half display in Saturday's semi-final at Wembley. Ibrahima Konte put Liverpool ahead and Mane doubled their lead thanks to a blunder from City keeper Zack Steffen.
Senegal forward Mane struck again before half-time and, although Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva netted after the interval, City were unable to complete a remarkable revival.
Liverpool will make their first FA Cup final appearance since 2012 on May 14 when they face Chelsea or Crystal Palace, who meet in Sunday's semi-final.
The Reds, into the FA Cup final for the 15th time, haven't won the competition since 2006, while Klopp has yet to lead them to a domestic knockout trophy.
