adminLONDON. – Manchester United managed to put their penalty shootout hoodoo behind them against Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Red Devils booked their ticket to the FA Cup final after beating the Seagulls on penalties.
Before the deciding spot kicks, Man United had lost seven of their previous eight shootouts.
This includes being knocked out of the FA Cup last season by Middlesborough in the Fourth Round.
One reason behind the success according to fans was Wout Weghort’s ‘KISS OF DEATH’ on the ball before handing it over to Solly March.
The Brighton forward was also scuppered by David De Gea’s use of the dark arts.
The goalkeeper scuffed up the spot before his penalty kick.
March then sent the resulting penalty sailing over De Gea’s bar, allowing Victor Lindelof the opportunity to shoot for victory. – The Sun
