Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has claimed his former side ‘only have themselves to blame’ for their crushing 4-3 FA Cup extra time defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Man United earned a dramatic win in the seven-goal FA Cup thriller, with Amad Diallo was the unlikely hero following his goal in the 121st minute.
Full of drama, the tie saw United trail twice, once heading into the break when Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah scored within three minutes of each other to fire the visitors ahead.
The match ended in a win for the hosts, with United booking a spot at Wembley for their semi-final clash with Championship side Coventry City.
