Jose Mourinho’s men came back from a goal deficit to clinch a spot in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

It is almost becoming a routine for the Red Devils against top English opponents in recent times as they yet again fought back from a goal down to ensure a monumental win over Tottenham Hotspur. After a relatively slow start, the Old Trafford outfit was punished by a Dele Alli goal due to a lapse in defense.

However, an Alexis Sanchez headed equalizer and an Ander Herrera second-half strike was enough to book the 20-time English champions a place in the final of the FA Cup competition. Below are a few facts and figure surrounding Manchester United’s feat:

  • Manchester United has won all 5 games, scored 12 goals, and has conceded just a goal in the FA Cup this season.
  • Manchester United has won as many games from losing positions in the last two months as they managed in their first 21 months under Jose Mourinho. 

  • Manchester United has reached more major domestic cup finals than any English side (20 in the FA Cup, 9 in the English League Cup).
  • Manchester United joins Arsenal as the only two English clubs in the history of the FA Cup to reach the final on 20 separate occasions.
  • Tottenham Hotspurs is the first team in the history of the FA Cup to lose eight semi-finals in a row.
