Liverpool's two-goal hero Sadio mane
Liverpool this Saturday evening, April 16, held on to romp into the 2022 English FA Cup final after beating arch-rival Manchester City at Wembley Stadium.
Liverpool were on their way to victory after zooming into a 30 scoreline in the first half – thanks to goals by Konaté (9 minutes), Mané (17 minutes and 45'minutes).
Man City came out smoking in the second half, reducing the tally with goals from Grealish (47 minutes) and Bernardo Silva (90+1minutes).
It is a first FA Cup final for Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool keep alive their hopes of an unprecedented quadruple.
For Manchester City, the dream of a treble is over but there’s still the chance of a Premier League-Champions League double.
Commenting on the match, former Man City defender Micah Richards said on BBC One: “Liverpool had the game won in the first half down to their brilliance but also City were not alive, which I've not said for a while.
“In the second half they upped the tempo. It looked more like the City we recognise. It wasn't enough today but in the end Liverpool were the better team.”
