COVENTRY CITY 1-2 IPSWICH TOWN - TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE CBS ARENA: One more point will be enough to send Ipswich to the Premier League for the first time in 22 years after Cameron Burgess' second-half winner put them within sight of back-to-back promotions. If the Tractor Boys avoid defeat against Huddersfield - who are all but relegated - on Saturday it will be enough to take them up automatically and send Leeds United into the play-offs. A draw or more would crown a stunning triumph for coach Kieran McKenna, who led his side up from League One only last season. Ipswich rode their luck at times at Coventry but goals from Kieffer Moore and Burgess - either side of Haji Wright's leveller - saw them over the line.

With Leeds United losing to QPR over the weekend, the door has been left wide open for Ipswich Town to secure automatic promotion. Should they justify their favourites tag tonight and defeat Coventry, they will put themselves three clear of Leeds with just one game left to play in the season. At the time of writing, Ipswich are 4/6 favourites to come away with the win, while their opponents are 7/2 outsiders.

Erik ten Hag (left) refused to take questions from journalists who were critical of him and Man United after their dramatic FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry City (right). United edged past their Championship opponents at Wembley on Sunday, but their victory wasn't without drama after they squandered a three-goal lead before triumphing 4-2 on penalties. Coventry also had a goal chalked off in extra time by VAR when USA striker Haji Wright was marginally offside before he squared to Victor Torp to tuck home.

Harry Maguire has reflected on Man United's celebrations after their FA Cup semi-final victory over Coventry City. United edged past their Championship opponents at Wembley on Sunday, but their victory wasn't without drama after they squandered a three-goal lead before triumphing 4-2 on penalties. Coventry also had a goal chalked off in extra time by VAR when USA striker Haji Wright was marginally offside before he squared to Victor Torp to tuck home. The chaotic clash capped the latest underwhelming performance and dismal collapse by the Red Devils in a season that has been marred by problems both on and off the field.

CHRIS WHEELER: Torp came on with Coventry three goals down to Erik ten Hag's side before the Championship underdogs levelled at 3-3 and then thought they had snatched an incredible win (left) when the Dane scored with almost the last kick of extra-time. However, his effort was ruled out for the most marginal of offside decisions by VAR (top right) against team-mate Haji Wright, and United survived to go through to the Cup Final on penalties.

Coventry players were reportedly left staggered by Marcus Rashford's display in their FA Cup semi-final defeat by Man United. United edged past their Championship opponents at Wembley on Sunday, but their victory wasn't without drama after they squandered a three-goal lead before triumphing 4-2 on penalties. Coventry also had a goal chalked off in extra time by VAR when USA striker Haji Wright was marginally offside before he squared to Victor Torp to tuck home. The chaotic clash capped the latest underwhelming performance and dismal collapse by the Red Devils in a season that has been marred by problems both on and off the field.

Antony has broken his silence over his controversial celebration after Manchester United scrape into the FA Cup final after beating Coventry on penalties. The Brazilian was widely criticised for cupping his hand to his ear in the direction of the Coventry squad when Rasmus Hojlund converted the crucial penalty. And the Brazilian admitted he lost his cool after being provoked throughout the game.

It's fair to say that a number of football fans were left bemused by VAR's decision to rule out Victor Torp's late winner for Coventry against Man United on Sunday. VAR ruled that Haji Wright was offside by a fraction after he assisted Torp in the 121st minute at Wembley, with Coventry thinking they had finished a generational comeback to win 4-3. Many argued that it 'ruined one of the greatest FA Cup moments ever', as the Red Devils eventually went on to win the semi-final after a 4-2 penalty shoot-out victory.

Mark Robins' side battled back from 3-0 down to take the showdown to a penalty shootout but looked to have sealed their spot in the final in extra time when Haji Wright was played through and teed up Victor Torp to stab home. Wright, however, was deemed to have been offside by the most marginal - and controversial - of VAR decisions in the 121st minute, taking the tie the distance. United then held their nerve from the spot to ensure they would face Manchester City again with the famous trophy on the line - a repeat of last season's final. But a new clip filmed from inside the United end, almost directly next to the pitch, has raised fresh doubt over the divisive call in the minds of some supporters. The video shows Wright being released in behind a tiring Aaron Wan-Bissaka, with VAR replays later revealing that the forward had made his run a fraction too early.

Fans believe the VAR lines were drawn over Aaron Wan-Bissaka's foot for Haji Wright's offside in Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry City. Wright was ruled offside by a fraction after assisting Victor Torp in the 121st minute at Wembley, with Coventry thinking they had finished a generational comeback to win 4-3. Manchester United went on to win 4-2 on penalties after a 3-3 draw. Many felt that the marginal decision was cruel and that it 'ruined one of the greatest FA Cup moments ever' , while others insisted VAR was simply doing its job.

Erik ten Hag hailed his Manchester United team after they reached the FA Cup final and made a bizarre comparison to great Red Devils sides of the past under Sir Alex Ferguson. United edged past Championship opponents Coventry City at Wembley in the semi-final on Sunday, but their victory wasn't without drama after they squandered a three-goal lead before triumphing 4-2 on penalties. Coventry also had a goal chalked off in extra time by VAR when USA striker Haji Wright was marginally offside before he squared to Victor Torp to tuck home. The chaotic clash capped the latest underwhelming performance and dismal collapse by the Red Devils in a season that has been marred by problems both on and off the field.

Manchester United's Antony has been described as a 'shameless prat' after he goaded defeated Coventry players with an ear-cupping celebration. The £85million Brazilian mocked the Sky Blues after his team scraped into the FA Cup final on penalties having chucked away a three-goal lead and then escaped defeat by a tight VAR offside decision. After Rasmus Hojlund scored the decisive penalty, Antony was among a handful of United players who celebrated, with the overriding emotion one of relief and acute embarrassment.

The United goalkeeper received a yellow card for time-wasting in regulation time against Coventry on Sunday as well as during the penalty shoot-out. Typically, two yellow cards equals a red and a player is sent off, but bookings from regulation time do not carry over into the shoot-out, meaning Onana was spared a nightmare. However, Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez will miss Villa's Europa Conference League semi-final first leg for the same infringement .

Manchester United fans who left Wembley in shock and disgust when Victor Torp scored Coventry City's 'winner' were filmed making a hasty u-turn when it was disallowed for offside. The Sky Blues thought they'd completed a turnaround for the ages from 3-0 down when Torp scored in the closing stages of extra time in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final. That prompted more than a few raging United fans to make a hasty exit down Wembley Way.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: Manchester United booked their place in the FA Cup final after beating Coventry on penalties.  Erik ten Hag's men raced into a 3-0 lead through goals by Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes.  But Coventry fought back in impressive fashion and scored three in the space of 25 minutes, with Ellis Simms, Callum O'Hare and Haji Wright all getting on the scoresheet to take the game to extra-time. 

Mark Robins joked that Coventry would be in the FA Cup Final if Haji Wright had cut his toenails after the Championship side suffered Wembley heartbreak. After Coventry fought back from 3-0 down to take the semi-final against Manchester United into extra-time, substitute Victor Torp thought he had won it - only for Wright, who had supplied the cross, to be ruled offside by the most marginal of VAR calls. 'Had he cut his toenails we wouldn't be talking about penalties,' said Sky Blues boss Robins, whose exploits when United won the trophy in 1990 are believed by many to have saved Sir Alex Ferguson's job.

Viewers of Sunday's FA Cup semi-final between Coventry were left fuming after VAR ruled that Coventry's last-minute goal in extra-time was marginally offside. Coventry almost completed one of the most memorable comebacks of all time as their side came from 3-0 down to take the tie at Wembley to extra-time. The Championship side then thought they had won it when Victor Torpturned the ball home in the 121st minute.

Manchester United winger Antony was heavily criticised by Clinton Morrison after appearing to taunt Coventry supporters. United prevailed on penalties to reach the FA Cup final following a remarkable tie against Championship side Coventry at Wembley. Despite United establishing a three-goal lead, Coventry managed to pull level at 3-3 to send the game to extra-time, with penalties eventually following.

Manchester United defeated Coventry City in a penalty shootout after letting a three goal lead slip in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.  Erik ten Hag's side looked to be in control, with first-half goals from Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire, before Bruno Fernandes added a third just before the hour. The Sky Blues left it late to beat Wolves in the quarter-finals, and started their comeback at 3-0 down, with goals from Ellis Simms and Callum O'Hare getting them back in contention before Haji Wright's stoppage time penalty took it to extra time. Man United won 4-2 on penalties. NATHAN SALT provides ratings.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY CHRIS WHEELER: The route to the top can seem relatively straightforward for the star pupils of Manchester City's academy. Ellis Simms, on the other hand, belongs to a different group of City scholars. Those young men who reached a crossroads when they were let go at a young age, and had to navigate a trickier path to where they want to be. For him, it was Blackpool, Heart of Midlothian and Sunderland on loan from Everton. Sunday is Simms' turn in the spotlight. Coventry meet Manchester United in the second FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, 24 hours after Foden and City saw off Palmer and Chelsea in the first.

COVENTRY 2-1 LEEDS UNITE UNITED - ADAM SHERGOLD AT THE CBS ARENA: Rival fans are simply raving that "Leeds are falling apart again," and Coventry's were certainly no exception. This decision is premature, but this loss, their first in league action in 2024, seemed to be a major missed opportunity for Daniel Farke's promotion chasers. Leeds may have returned to the Championship summit after Ipswich was defeated at lunchtime. Rather, they put on an off-color appearance that was entirely out of character by modern criteria.

When Cory Burke's own goal in the sixth minute of injury time pulled them level to request extra time in the Concaf Nations League semifinal against Jamaica, the USA had its blushes saved. The No. tennan is the No. 68. After Greg Leigh's 30 seconds in the 57th-ranked Reggae Boyz, the Americans were on the verge of losing a 3-1 victory, but Burke's own goal and Haji Wright's strikes in the sixth and 19th minutes of extra time salvaged a 3-1 victory for the United States. With the opportunity to win their third straight title this weekend, the Americans advanced to the Nations League final against Mexico. However, even that won't save Berhalter, Gomez argues, as the analyst said the head coach was on the verge of being fired.

After recovering a victory over Jamaica at the death Thursday night, Alexi Lalas led the former USMNT players and head coach Gregg Berhalter's leadership. The USA barely escaped humiliation at the hands of Jamaica in the Concaf Nations League semifinal, after Cory Burke's own goal in the sixth minute of injury time drew them level to request additional time, and Haji Wright found the net twice. Despite the United States qualifying for a third straight time, Lalas blasted the national team for its results, particularly during the first half, and threatened to question Berhalter's position.

With a 3-1 victory over Jamaica in extra time on Thursday night, the USMNT advanced to the CONCACAF Nations League final. Gregg Berhalter's team lost the first minute after just 30 seconds and then struggled to find a way back into the game due to their poor offensive play. Miles Robinson's header was deflected by Jamaica's Corey Burke into his own net, bringing them right into haltpage time.
