Jevgenijs ‘The Hurricane’ Aleksejevs. Profile and record
Manchester United fans could breathe in ease after a 3-3 deadlock followed by a a nail-biting penalty shootout against Coventry meant the Red Devils went on to the FA Cup final. Erik Ten Hag was not happy with how United played, but gave credit to a team that held out until the last minutes.
“It's mixed feelings. The way we did it isn't OK. We should have managed it better but it's a huge performance. If you analyse the game we controlled 75 minutes but then allowed them to return into the game.” Ten Hag said in Manchester United’s post match press conference.
You could catch Coventry at odds of 61.00 while they were 3-0 down in the first half.
