0:00:58 > 0:00:59Two FA Cup quarterfinals for you.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01A trip to Wembley is up for grabs.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Extra time and penalties if required.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05After going out of Europe in midweek, the FA Cup
0:01:05 > 0:01:07is Manchester United's only remaining chance of silverware.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Brighton were looking to make the semis for the first time
0:01:10 > 0:01:12since 1983, when they were beaten by Manchester United in the final.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Steve Bower was watching this one.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28After Jose Mourinho powers-macro 12 minutes of public defiance on
0:01:28 > 0:01:34Friday, can his players produce 90 minutes of resilience? Can they
0:01:34 > 0:01:41edged their manager close to his 21st trophy? He makes five changes
0:01:41 > 0:01:48since Tuesday. Romero, McTominay and Martial come end. Paul Pogba and
0:01:48 > 0:01:54Alexis Sanchez are only substitutes along with Marcus Rashford. Chris
0:01:54 > 0:02:02Hughton makes five changes. The record signing, Locadia starts.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07Duncan Duffy plane in the competition for the first time this
0:02:07 > 0:02:17season. Andre Marriner is the man in the middle.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20the middle. VAR is the news tonight. Manchester United look to end the
0:02:20 > 0:02:29week on a positive note.
0:02:29 > 0:02:39week on a positive note. McTominay. Matic.
0:02:39 > 0:02:48Matic. Sort Valencia in space. Four in the penalty area here. Lukaku.
0:02:52 > 0:02:58Slightly behind him as well.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07Slightly behind him as well. Back to Wembley today and back in business.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Gross.
0:03:12 > 0:03:18Gross. Clever back header from Ulloa. Locadia. Cleverly done by
0:03:18 > 0:03:24Gross. March with the cross. Brighton's first corner of the cup
0:03:24 > 0:03:34tie. Not out of the textbook.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36tie. Not out of the textbook. Can Brighton use the set piece to their
0:03:36 > 0:03:45advantage? Cleared by Lukaku. Wild effort from March. An FA Cup tie in
0:03:45 > 0:03:52sub zero temperatures.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54sub zero temperatures. A solid challenge from Bailly to win it
0:03:54 > 0:04:09back. Martial. Clever linkup with Mata. Did so successfully. Brighton
0:04:09 > 0:04:17got a body in the way again, Manchester United corner. In the
0:04:17 > 0:04:22end, it was the outstretched leg of Suttner that proved crucial. The
0:04:22 > 0:04:31corner from Mata. Smalling! Could not force it in. Inviting delivery
0:04:31 > 0:04:36from Mata. Smalling at the near post. As it dropped to him. Ended up
0:04:36 > 0:04:48hitting the outside of the post. Finds its way through to Locadia. He
0:04:48 > 0:05:00is the right side of Bailly. Second Brighton corner.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06Brighton corner. Misreading the situation from Smalling.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11situation from Smalling. In from Gross. Free header. Romero, had to
0:05:11 > 0:05:18be alert. It was dreadful Manchester United barking. Lewis Dunk had all
0:05:18 > 0:05:25the time in the world. Just look at the Manchester United defence,
0:05:25 > 0:05:32McTominay lost. Decent connection, good hide from Romero. Manchester
0:05:32 > 0:05:40United,...
0:05:40 > 0:05:54United,... Martial. The shape was excellent again.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59excellent again. Here is Matic trying to sweep this towards Lukaku.
0:05:59 > 0:06:07They have found a way through. And in this season's FA Cup, it is a
0:06:07 > 0:06:12familiar route, goal number five in the competition so far this season
0:06:12 > 0:06:16for Lukaku. Manchester United in front. It was always going to have
0:06:16 > 0:06:23to be pinpoint and it was, from Matic. Lukaku read it and got on the
0:06:23 > 0:06:30end of it. Great movement, 12 goals in his last 11 cup ties now. Just
0:06:30 > 0:06:34found a way to wriggle away from Lewis Dunk and that was enough, that
0:06:34 > 0:06:38was all he needed an Manchester United needed that. Acknowledgement
0:06:38 > 0:06:44to his manager that he got one back. In the second half, Manchester
0:06:44 > 0:06:48United have introduced Ashley Young and look sure. No change from
0:06:48 > 0:07:03Brighton. -- Shaw. In came Gross. And Pascal Gross was not too far
0:07:03 > 0:07:10away with that, just curling but not quite enough in the end. His fifth
0:07:10 > 0:07:16managerial visit to Old Trafford, yet to win, but his team need to
0:07:16 > 0:07:24score in this one order they are out of the FA Cup. Floated in by March.
0:07:24 > 0:07:33Locadia! Really good try by the Brighton record buys. Romero was
0:07:33 > 0:07:41equal to it. Soft header really by Valencia, lovely contact by Locadia.
0:07:41 > 0:07:48Gross.
0:07:48 > 0:07:55Gross. Martial. March for Brighton. Up against Young. Unable to get it
0:07:55 > 0:08:02across. Locadia. Decent chance.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06across. Locadia. Decent chance. Real credit here to March, could not
0:08:06 > 0:08:13steer that on target. Locadia. The next goal, if there is to be one,
0:08:13 > 0:08:20extremely pivotal.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23extremely pivotal. Here is Kayal. Another important Manchester United
0:08:23 > 0:08:32block. A good spell for the visitors.
0:08:32 > 0:08:42visitors. Locadia. Our conversation ten minutes before the end between
0:08:42 > 0:08:49the managers.
0:08:49 > 0:08:58the managers. Lingard. Rashford. Fouled by Duffy. Manchester United
0:08:58 > 0:09:08free kick.
0:09:10 > 0:09:23Ashley Young behind it. In tour Matic! That should seal it. Matic
0:09:23 > 0:09:29who scored in last season's FA Cup semifinal should have helped
0:09:29 > 0:09:34Manchester United into the semifinal this season with his second goal in
0:09:34 > 0:09:40the United red. Assisted the first and he scored the second. Floated in
0:09:40 > 0:09:46by Young and steered home by Matic. Helped it on its way, cleverly done
0:09:46 > 0:09:52by the Serbian international.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55by the Serbian international. The overriding emotion is that of relief
0:09:55 > 0:10:00inside Old Trafford.
0:10:04 > 0:10:17inside Old Trafford. Murray to Gross. Gross. Straight at Romero.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Who has still not been beaten in this competition this season. Had to
0:10:21 > 0:10:25wriggle into the space but put it straight at the goalkeeper. It will
0:10:25 > 0:10:31not live in the FA Cup Classics DVD but for Jose Mourinho it was all
0:10:31 > 0:10:37about the result tonight. Hopes of silverware still allied this season,
0:10:37 > 0:10:44Manchester United safely through to their 29 FA Cup semifinal.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Manchester United
0:10:45 > 0:10:46their 29 FA Cup semifinal. Manchester United two, Brighton nil.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51We deserved to win, the match was under control. But we did not play
0:10:51 > 0:10:57well. We did not play the way I wanted them to play. The attitude
0:10:57 > 0:11:03was not bad. It is not the point of a bad attitude but the point of lack
0:11:03 > 0:11:09of personality. Matic was what I call, and in Ireland personality, he
0:11:09 > 0:11:14was the one that clearly wanted the ball, wanted to bring the ball from
0:11:14 > 0:11:17the back and had to play the ball back because he did not have
0:11:17 > 0:11:28solutions and no movement in front of him. Surrounded by people that
0:11:28 > 0:11:35need more, especially in moments like this. When the sun is shining,
0:11:35 > 0:11:42it is easy to play football. When you win matches, and even myself, I
0:11:42 > 0:11:47can play when the sun is shining, but when it is dark and when you are
0:11:47 > 0:11:51under pressure, only the top ones can do it and today we did not have
0:11:51 > 0:11:55many top ones.It is similar to the league game where I thought we
0:11:55 > 0:12:00played well. They have great quality. We always feel, if you can
0:12:00 > 0:12:05pass the ball well enough, you might be able to use the basis because
0:12:05 > 0:12:09both of their wide players would play off the shape but you need to
0:12:09 > 0:12:13keep good enough possession and we had good enough spells in this game
0:12:13 > 0:12:17to really capitalise on it, but it was probably our work in the final
0:12:17 > 0:12:24third but let us down.The result was the most important thing. Of
0:12:24 > 0:12:27course, especially after the defeat in the Champions League, it was
0:12:27 > 0:12:33important for us to come back, to think positive, to react to that, so
0:12:33 > 0:12:38I am happy for the team that we got through and we are in a semifinal
0:12:38 > 0:12:43which is important to us.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47which is important to us.Surrounded by lack of personality, class and
0:12:47 > 0:12:52design. They are harsh words from Jose Mourinho.They are and it
0:12:52 > 0:12:56looked like Shaw was hoped at half-time. One that he went for.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00That is the environment now that he is creating, he wants response for
0:13:00 > 0:13:04his players and he is questioning their mentality. He is scratching
0:13:04 > 0:13:09the surface, he wants to see more. He was added in the press
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Conference, whether going after his players like that could backfire and
0:13:11 > 0:13:18he said it was a risk. You have been in big dressing rooms, how will
0:13:18 > 0:13:22players react?You hope they will respond in a positive way, but
0:13:22 > 0:13:29players could feel it is very negative, saying there is no desire,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33some of what is said was Matic is strong, but the players around him
0:13:33 > 0:13:39are weak. Fans, the atmosphere, everyone seems to be getting it from
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Jose Mourinho and he does not seem happy but he will be looking for a
0:13:42 > 0:13:47response.He has to look in the mirror, because it was disappointing
0:13:47 > 0:13:50midweek anti-change the system and personnel into different positions
0:13:50 > 0:13:55and did not get the best. He is right, they more or less were in
0:13:55 > 0:13:59control of this match and you expect more from Manchester United. They
0:13:59 > 0:14:05are into the semi-finals, there are no complaints but it was not a
0:14:05 > 0:14:06fantastic performance.
0:14:10 > 0:14:20They wear superb moments of quality and two superb goals.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25They wear superb moments of quality and two superb goals.Matic, get it
0:14:25 > 0:14:33into the far corner. Romelu Lukaku, cashes in and cannot really miss. It
0:14:33 > 0:14:43is such a good ball. Just about onside. Once he shows is number, the
0:14:43 > 0:14:49player, Romelu Lukaku just catches him.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55him.He bullies him a little bit and get stronger than Lewis Dunk, but
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Matic is the player for Manchester United who came up with a big
0:14:59 > 0:15:02performance. We talked about bravery on the ball and the atmosphere
0:15:02 > 0:15:06wasn't so good today at Old Trafford, but he carried the team.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10You can see what it means to him when he scored the goal, he has the
0:15:10 > 0:15:17drive and it is the example he is setting the team.Brighton seemed
0:15:17 > 0:15:21pretty safe and the FA Cup is on their priority got as a senior
0:15:21 > 0:15:24player in the dressing room for Manchester United, do you rally the
0:15:24 > 0:15:33troops, do you start shouting, what do you do?Do your talking on the
0:15:33 > 0:15:38pitch, put the performance in and he cannot complain. Jose Mourinho has
0:15:38 > 0:15:44two love you or hate you. Maybe he's pushing the boundaries a bit, but he
0:15:44 > 0:15:47lost the players at Chelsea. Maybe at real Madrid, he doesn't want to
0:15:47 > 0:15:54do it again.He's taking a gamble. As a player, a lot of the things
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Jose Mourinho hearsay is coming he should not say it in public. It
0:15:58 > 0:16:03gives the fans, pundits and everybody else a chance to have a go
0:16:03 > 0:16:08at the players even more. Say it behind closed doors on the back them
0:16:08 > 0:16:13in public.He spoke the 12 minutes when I asked one question in the
0:16:13 > 0:16:16press conference. He needs to limit what he says because he can be
0:16:16 > 0:16:17explosive.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23To the first ever FA Cup meeting between Swansea and Tottenham.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25While Swansea were in the quarterfinals for the first
0:16:25 > 0:16:28time in over 50-years, Spurs were looking to reach
0:16:28 > 0:16:30the last four for the second consecutive season.
0:16:30 > 0:16:36Commentary comes from Simon Brotherton.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Swansea's priority is Premier League survival, but not for the next 90
0:16:40 > 0:16:45minutes as they tried to topple Tottenham. They were knocked out of
0:16:45 > 0:16:49the Champions League by Japan this and have lost Harry Kane for injury.
0:16:49 > 0:16:55But since the league is wrapped up by Manchester City, the FA Cup
0:16:55 > 0:17:03provides the chance for some silverware this season. Christopher
0:17:03 > 0:17:11Nord felt continues as the FA Cup goalkeeper. Nathan Dier is in
0:17:11 > 0:17:22midfield. Spurs are without the injured Harry Kane.
0:17:36 > 0:17:45First time in the quarterfinals in over 50 years for Swansea City. High
0:17:45 > 0:17:55up towards Tammy Abraham. Sliding it through... Nathan Dier chasing. Out
0:17:55 > 0:18:01came the keeper to make a challenge. It was Michel Vorm who went diving
0:18:01 > 0:18:05in.
0:18:06 > 0:18:14in. VAR had a look at this and said there was nothing to answer for.
0:18:15 > 0:18:22Martin Olsson has Tom Carroll in support. It could open up a little
0:18:22 > 0:18:34bit for Tottenham here. Erik Lamela. Christian Eriksen may fancy this...
0:18:34 > 0:18:42He certainly does. It is the opening goal from Christian Eriksen. Erik
0:18:42 > 0:18:48Lamela have the space, had the time. Short pass into Christian Eriksen,
0:18:48 > 0:18:54who had options but then decided he didn't need any of them. Tottenham
0:18:54 > 0:18:58strike first in this FA Cup quarterfinal in the 11th minute of
0:18:58 > 0:19:02the match. Swansea feel they should have had a free kick at the other
0:19:02 > 0:19:08end of the fields before Tottenham broke away in their own half. Erik
0:19:08 > 0:19:15Lamela, helping out.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Lamela, helping out. Nutmeg to Alfie Mawson's legs. Tammy Abraham back
0:19:19 > 0:19:25quickly to help out.
0:19:26 > 0:19:40quickly to help out. Didn't quite get past Christopher Nord felt.
0:19:41 > 0:19:49The flag has gone up so it won't count. In the form that he is and,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53no surprise to see the ball in the back of the net. Let's have a look
0:19:53 > 0:20:01as it is played forward. Just given offside. There goes the flag. Little
0:20:01 > 0:20:04check from the officials, Kevin Friend. Just waiting a definitive
0:20:04 > 0:20:11decision on this one.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21The crowd is getting impatient. The offside decision is given as correct
0:20:21 > 0:20:29and it stays at 1-0.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33and it stays at 1-0. Kieran Trippier, sidestepping Nathan Dier.
0:20:33 > 0:20:42Christian Eriksen... He let fly. Smacking against the crossbar.
0:20:42 > 0:20:56Fingertip save from Nordfeldt. Again, Swansea lose possession. Here
0:20:56 > 0:21:05comes Erik Lamela now for Tottenham. It is 2-0! Erik Lamela. And there is
0:21:05 > 0:21:10a real sting in the first half tail for Swansea. They haven't got into
0:21:10 > 0:21:17this cup tie at all. For them, going in just one goal down at the break,
0:21:17 > 0:21:22wouldn't have been bad. But in added time at the end of the first half,
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Erik Lamela found the bottom corner of the net. Tottenham will go in at
0:21:26 > 0:21:33the break with a two goal lead. Swansea get is under way in the
0:21:33 > 0:21:39second half. It has been a one-sided FA Cup quarterfinal so far in
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Tottenham's favour. Scoring tries and could easily have scored twice
0:21:41 > 0:21:51more.
0:21:53 > 0:22:04Davies with the throw. Trying to find a little bit of space. Great
0:22:04 > 0:22:08double save from Michel Vorm. Sensational goalkeeping. He has had
0:22:08 > 0:22:18nothing to do until that point, but was very much on his toes.
0:22:25 > 0:22:32Eric Dier... That was a good attempt. He brought the best out of
0:22:32 > 0:22:39Nordfeldt. Nordfeldt, tipped the shot from Christian Eriksen onto the
0:22:39 > 0:22:48bar in the first half. Very confident by the way Tottenham are
0:22:48 > 0:22:54moving the ball around at times. Eric Dier digs it out. Lucas Moura.
0:22:54 > 0:23:01Eric Dier... Lucas Moura, on the turn and Christian Eriksen...
0:23:01 > 0:23:10Deflection. His second of the match, Tottenham's third of the afternoon.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15Lucas Moura looked to see if there was room to shoot. Christian Eriksen
0:23:15 > 0:23:25bid. Tottenham have a 3-goal lead. Davies.
0:23:25 > 0:23:31Davies. Fouled. That was the frustration of the day I think, from
0:23:31 > 0:23:40Swansea. He has scored twice already. Ericsson's delivery whipped
0:23:40 > 0:23:47in. Stopped on the line and Swansea scramble clear.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Tottenham safely through to their second consecutive FA Cup semifinal.
0:23:52 > 0:23:58It was never in doubt.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01In football, sometimes you score early and then it is difficult to
0:24:01 > 0:24:09have control of the game.But we played much better. We deserved it.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14We are in the semifinal because we deserved it.It was David against
0:24:14 > 0:24:19Goliath. We know the difference between the teams. To go to the
0:24:19 > 0:24:23semifinals, we must be at our best level and Tottenham must be having a
0:24:23 > 0:24:26bad afternoon. They were better and the way they played, they deserve to
0:24:26 > 0:24:33win. After this, we move to the Premiership.Two goals in the first
0:24:33 > 0:24:38half, might have been more?I don't want to talk any more about the new
0:24:38 > 0:24:43system because it is so difficult to manage for everyone and for the
0:24:43 > 0:24:51referee.It confuses more the situation.He has such an
0:24:51 > 0:24:56extraordinary record against Swansea?They give the space I need
0:24:56 > 0:25:01and luckily they did it again today. In general we played a strong game
0:25:01 > 0:25:07and kept them away from any chances. We didn't have that many chances,
0:25:07 > 0:25:13but we did need it because we were shopping.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17He has made it clear, he has had plenty of chances against Swansea
0:25:17 > 0:25:21because they give him plenty of space.I don't know what the manager
0:25:21 > 0:25:24is doing with them on the training ground because
0:25:24 > 0:25:25is doing with them on the training ground because every player is
0:25:25 > 0:25:32getting better. He just rests into the area. Nobody comes out. He has
0:25:32 > 0:25:37the ability to bend that in and it is top-level ability of the left
0:25:37 > 0:25:42foot. He can pick the past whenever he wants to. Runs into an area,
0:25:42 > 0:25:47waiting for the angle to Erik Lamela. He has everything in his
0:25:47 > 0:25:52game. That is a thunderbolt, sweet strike off his left foot. I just
0:25:52 > 0:25:58enjoy watching him play. He wants to work, that is part of the ethic.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03This is Erik Lamela's goal when he won the ball back. He loves rolling
0:26:03 > 0:26:08the ball over his foot, nobody gets tight to him. They just get better
0:26:08 > 0:26:16and better. He's got the vision and the execution to deliver long balls.
0:26:16 > 0:26:24He can beat the man, he has drive and pays. Couldn't take anybody out
0:26:24 > 0:26:29on this occasion but he just keeps providing, waiting. He is becoming
0:26:29 > 0:26:33the brains of the team, he is sitting out, more sensible. Lucas
0:26:33 > 0:26:41Moura feeds it to him. Keeps it down in the corner. They paid 2.5 million
0:26:41 > 0:26:49and it was a snip.We had a bit more VAR action. It took nearly two
0:26:49 > 0:26:55minutes to get it right?It was very confusing. Christian Eriksen is on
0:26:55 > 0:27:02the ball again. You see the flag go up at the death. What the people at
0:27:02 > 0:27:08home have seen after the decision. It is very marginal and I thought it
0:27:08 > 0:27:15was meant to be a clear and obvious decision that the VAR get involved.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20This was very tight. The flag goes up now and the referee now goes to
0:27:20 > 0:27:25VAR. My argument is, what if he is on side and the defenders stop and
0:27:25 > 0:27:31he scores the goal. What happens then? VAR is very confusing.We will
0:27:31 > 0:27:38find out at the World Cup.It takes too long to make the decision, is it
0:27:38 > 0:27:45right or is it wrong.I hope they get it better than this in the World
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Cup.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51More FA Cup quarterfinal action for you this weekend.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Wigan against Southampton is live on BBC One from
0:27:53 > 0:27:541.15pm with Mark Chapman.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Then, from 4.05pm, Leicester v Chelsea.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Gary Lineker is joined by Alan Shearer, Ian Wright and Petr Cech.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Gianfranco Zola is also part of the team.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02That is followed by the semifinal draw.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03That's it from us.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Thanks to Martin and Shay.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07So we'll see Tottenham and Manchester United at Wembley,
0:28:07 > 0:28:08for the FA Cup semi-finals.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Who will join them?
