FA Cup: Coventry Silence Manchester Unted With Incredible Comeback from 3:0 Down at Wembley

• Coventry Came from behind to draw with Manchester United
• The Red Devils looked to be coasting into the FA Cup final
• But they capitulated in the final 20 minutes against the Sky Blues

Coventry City staged a remarkable comeback against Manchester United, forcing extra time in the FA Cup semi-final after trailing 3-0 on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils seemed poised for the final clash against Manchester City, holding a commanding three-goal lead before the hour mark, courtesy of strikes from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire, and Bruno Fernandes.

However, Coventry, a Championship side, demonstrated resilience as Ellis Simms ignited their comeback in the 71st minute. Callum O'Hare's deflected shot narrowed the deficit eight minutes later.

In the final six minutes of second-half stoppage time, Aaron Wan-Bissaka's handball led to a penalty, expertly converted by Haji Wright, sealing Coventry's extraordinary comeback, per ESPN.

Erik ten Hag's side have fallen short of expectations despite winning the League Cup victory last season.

This season, their Champions League journey ended at the bottom of the group, unable to defend their title.

Securing a top-four finish in the ongoing campaign appears highly improbable, with a daunting 16-point gap to bridge, despite having two games in hand, especially after Aston Villa's 3-1 victory over Bournemouth earlier on Sunday.

Roy Keane lays into Man United

Former Manchester United captain, fulfilling punditry duties for ITV, could scarcely believe what he witnessed as the final whistle blew:

"I can't believe what I'm watching," he exclaimed via Daily Star. "You're 3-0 up, you're coasting and you start slowing the game down. You look for leadership, you see the goalkeeper messing around. Obviously once that first goal for Coventry goes in, they get confidence and momentum and it's all with Coventry now.

"But United, if they don't get over the line in this game... I don't know. Huge credit to Coventry, United shocking. Coventry, I take my hat off to them."

Following a tense and goalless 15 minutes of extra time, during which Fernandes struck the crossbar, Keane further remarked:

"You fear for Ten Hag if they don't get the job done."
