Spurs where left massively disappointed as they are still looking for their 1st final appearance in any competition since the 2007/08 season, which was also the last time they won a trophy, after beating their rivals Chelsea in the League Cup final.
Further disappointment for their fans is the fact that they have now incredibly lost all their last 7 semi-finals of the FA Cup, and this year it is a little bit more disappointing, due to the fact that Wembley has been their home ground for the whole duration of the current season.
Tottenham went in front early on thanks to a goal from Dele Alli inside the 11th minute, after a fantastic assist from their star Danish playmaker, Christian Eriksen.
Man.Utd found the equaliser in the 24th mintue after Alexis Sanchez headed Paul Pogba's cross into the net to make the scoreline 1-1. From that point to the end of the 1st 45 minutes it was pretty even with both teams pushing forward, but neither of them was able to get in front.
The 2nd half started with less intensity and both teams were waiting for each other to make the 1st big move, with only a few chances for both sides in the opening 15 minutes of the half.
The Red Devils did get in front in the 65th minute though, after they managed to turn a counter-attack into a goal thanks to their Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera, with the ball going through the legs of Ben Davies and somehow got past Spurs keeper Michel Vorm, to give Man.Utd a 2-1 lead.
Mauricio Pochettino responded after he took off left-back Ben Davies to bring on January signing Lucas Moura, with Eric Dier dropping back into defence. This lead to more possession from Spurs and a couple of half-chances, but Mourinho's men dropped deep and parked the bus, making it difficult for them to break through.
Man.Utd will now face Chelsea, who beat Southampton 2-0 in the other semi-final. on the 19th of May for the final, and both clubs will be desparate to win the competition after a disappointing season, and it's the only chance of silverware for both sides this season.
A shame like Tottenham better.
