Coventry staged a miraculous comeback in the second half of their FA Cup semi-final clash against Manchester United after conceding three goals within the first 58 minutes of the game. United States men's national team forward Haji Wright scored a last-gasp equaliser for his side from the penalty spot which dragged the game to extra time. In the 121st minute, Wright assisted for Victor Torp's strike which could have won the Sky Blues the tie but VAR ruled out the goal due to offside.
