Championship: Cardiff City 2 - 1 Huddersfield Town

-

Two goals from  Kieffer Moore earned Cardiff City a first win in 11 games against Huddersfield Town.

Huddersfield took the lead after Daniel Sinani took advantage of poor defending by the Bluebirds to put them ahead early on.

The game appeared to be slipping away again from Cardiff, but Kieffer Moore headed home Joe Ralls' corner and draw the Bluebirds level with just over 15 minutes to go. 

In injury time, Moore stepped up again. This time the cross came from youngster Isaak Davies' cross to put an end to the Bluebirds' miserable form and give the caretaker manager Steve Morison win.

After the match, Steve Morison told the media that he has "loved" his three games in charge of the Championship side.

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)
