Manchester United set up a first FA Cup final against Manchester City after beating Brighton in a tense penalty shootout at a rain-lashed Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n

In a match that finished goalless after extra time it fell to United defender Victor Lindelof to score the decisive spot-kick after Solly March sent his effort high over the bar.<\/p>\n

The result means Erik ten Hag\u2019s side have reached their second domestic final of the season, having won the Carabao Cup in February.<\/p>\n

In a scrappy semi-final that fell short of expectations, both goalkeepers excelled with David de Gea making several fine saves and Brighton\u2019s Robert Sanchez brilliantly turning away Marcus Rashford\u2019s deflected effort in extra time.<\/p>\n

March\u2019s miss came after 12 successful penalties, before Lindelof stepped up to set up a mouth-watering all-Manchester encounter back at the national stadium on 3 June.<\/p>\n

City\u00a0beat Sheffield United 3-0\u00a0in the other semi-final on Saturday.<\/p>\n
