Man United's mental tenacity lifts them to FA Cup final, even though Brighton were more dangerous

LONDON -- Manchester United set up an FA Cup final against neighbours Manchester City with a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Brighton on Sunday at Wembley.

After 120 goalless minutes and six successful penalties each in the shootout, Solly March missed Brighton's seventh kick before Victor Lindelof stepped up to score.

It means the two Manchester rivals will face off for the first time in an FA Cup final on June 3, giving Man United the chance to possibly stop Man City completing the treble -- a feat only ever achieved once before in England, by Man United in 1999.
