Delight among the Arsenal fans

At half-time and despite Tottenham's chances, Arsenal were comfortable. They managed to play through the first 20 minutes of the second half without issues. However, they started to look less calm when Raya appeared to be caught in a moment of indecision leading to the first Spurs goal. 

When Son scored his penalty, Arteta's side must have been worried that they would become the victim of an amazing comeback. Spurs had been a threat going forward throughout the match and sensed they might be able to secure a draw. Despite all that, Arsenal managed to hold on to their lead and secure the win. This left their fans in a fantastic mood

DJ, an Arsenal fan, said "The last 20 minutes wasn't nice, but it was worth it! We understand that losing 3-0 at home was not an option for them. The momentum was in their favor, but I am proud of the team for securing the three points.Despite the chaotic situation, the players managed to remain calm and level-headed. 

"I am proud of all the players. This victory is an enormous achievement for them, and it means everything. We have three more games to go, and we will give it our all."

 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)
