FA YOUTH CUP LIVE RESULT: Man Utd progress past 10-man Arsenal to book semi-final spot after extra-time win in thriller

Manchester United edged past their illustrious counterparts, Arsenal, to book their place in the FA Youth Cup final four. United would grab the lead through Darren Fletcher’s son, Jack, who rocketed a curling strike past the goalkeeper on his weaker side from the corner of the box on the 36th minute. Just before the interval, Arsenal defender Will Sweet sent a long pass over United’s back-line to put Louis Copley clear 1-on-1 and dink past an onrushing goalkeeper. Teenage sensation Max Dowman was the standout player, and would make his impact more substantial when he glided past Reece Munro in the box, received contact enough to earn a penalty, and converted the resulting spot kick with the utmost composure. United’s Jaydan Kamason would fire back with an equaliser of his own as he collected the ball just outside the box before arrowing an effort across goal from the right wing in added time. On the 8th minute of the first half of extra time, Bendito Mantato would slam in Samuel Lusale’s cut-back from close range to hand the visitors the lead again. Gunner’s skipper Street was shown his marching orders for a cynical sliding red card offence on Kamason in the closing exchanges. Full-time result: Arsenal 2-3 Manchester United (after ET).
