Twitter Reacts as Manchester United Reach FA Cup Final with Late Martial Winner
- Updated: April 23, 2016
Manchester United will contest the FA Cup final for the first time since 2007 after Anthony Martial’s late, late winner earned Louis van Gaal’s side a 2-1 win over Everton.
A picturesque Wembley Stadium had earlier welcomed the two teams, both in need of a win to rescue their disappointing seasons:

A proper, noisy atmosphere at Wembley — and it’s not very often you can say that

PA announcer at Wembley employed the Brian Moore growl when introducing Rrrrrrrrrrrrross Barkley. All for this.

Romelu Lukaku had the game’s first chance, but a backtracking Wayne Rooney cleared his effort off the line:
Fosu-Mensah mistake, Lukaku through, around De Gea, shoots and … Rooney, of all people, clears off the line

Wasn’t quite a Babb moment for Rooney – but took a clattering off the post for his troubles there

OFF THE LINE BY WAYNE ROONEY! ANTHONY MARTIAL IS WEARING GLOVES. GLOVES! IT’S ALL HAPPENING.

The big Belgian had another great chance to put the Toffees ahead soon after, but his first touch let him down, and he failed to beat David De Gea:

If Lukaku could control the ball, Everton might have scored twice by now … awful first touch again
— James Ducker (@TelegraphDucker) April 23, 2016
Twice Lukaku has had chances – and twice a poor touch has made it harder for himself.
— Phil McNulty (@philmcnulty) April 23, 2016
That first touch from Lukaku is the one thing stopping him being the top player he believes he is.

Gradually, United took control, and they went ahead on 34 minutes through Marouane Fellaini:
Martial races to the left-hand byline and cuts the ball back for Fellaini, who scores at the near post with his left foot. Been coming.
— Tom Williams (@tomwfootball) April 23, 2016
Of all the people to open the scoring for Manchester United, it had to be Fellaini. Well it didn’t, but it was.
