Why Amad was sent off against Liverpool and will he be available for Man United's FA Cup semi-final?

Manchester United match-winner Amad was shown a red card for a second bookable offence after sealing a dramatic extra-time triumph over Liverpool.

The Ivorian raced away on a counter-attacker and fired into the bottom corner off the inside of the post. United had to come from behind twice after, initially, letting their first-half lead slip.

During the celebrations, the 21-year-old took off his shirt as he wheeled away in front of the Stretford End which resulted in referee David Brooks showing a second-yellow card. Amad was shown a yellow card for stopping Liverpool taking a quick free-kick, shortly after his introduction.

However, he will be available for the semi-final against Championship side Coventry City but will miss the first Premier League match back following the international break. United will return to top-flight action on March 30 when they travel to the capital to play Brentford.

"What a game. Today we deserved this win. We played very well today," he said speaking to ITV. "One of the best games of the season, so I am very happy.

"I forgot the first yellow. I am very disappointed for the red card but the most important thing for me is to win against a big team like Liverpool.

"Everyone came to me saying: 'congratulations Amad, you deserve this'. I want to thank everyone."

United will head to Wembley for the semi-final on April 20 or 21 but they were made to work hard for their place in the last four. Scott McTominay opened the scoring after stabbing home from close-range before Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah fired the visitors in front on the stroke of half-time.
