Description:
Erik Ten Hag insisted he was not embarrassed but admitted Manchester United “got away with it” after edging past Championship Coventry on penalties in their FA Cup semi-final.The Premier League outfit were given an almighty scare at Wembley on Sunday as the second-tier side fought back from 3-0 down and then had a late extra-time winner disallowed for a marginal offside.A thrilling contest ended 3-3 after 120 minutes and it was United who ultimately prevailed, 4-2 on spot-kicks, to set up a repeat of last year’s final against rivals Manchester City.It was another highly unconvincing performance by United – which may have increased the pressure on under-fire manager Ten Hag – but the Dutchman tried to highlight the positives.Ten Hag said: “I can’t say that word (embarrassment) because, at the end of the day, it’s about the achievement.“I see the mistakes we make – we can’t look away from it – but it’s not an embarrassment. It’s a huge achievement.“Even the big team from United, a decade ago, only achieved the final three times. We now have two times in two years. So that’s a good performance.“I see we can play in very high levels but in the same match we can also go very low. That’s not explainable. It has to do with managing the game.SOURCE: PA

![Noni Madueke had to be dragged away from referee Craig Pawson after Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday evening. <br/><br/>Madueke and his teammates thought they had secured a 96th-minute winner when Axel Disasi headed home from close range to make it 3-2 in their favor. <br/><br/>However, the goal was disallowed after a lengthy VAR check that saw Pawson consult the pitch-side monitor. <br/><br/>Pawson ruled the goal out after claiming Benoit Badiashile had shoved Diego Carlos in the back in the build-up to the goal. <br/><br/>Madueke was furious with the decision and wanted to make his feelings known after the final whistle at Villa Park. <br/><br/>Madueke stormed straight up to Pawson and began shouting in his face before being restrained by Chelsea coach Jesus Perez. <br/><br/>Madueke and Benoit Badiashile could reportedly be heard saying 'It's wrong, you know it's wrong. You know it. You know it!' while pointing at Pawson. <br/><br/>Disasi, who scored the disallowed last-gasp goal, tried to calm Madueke down by grabbing him and walking him away from the situation. <br/><br/>However, it was a little too late as Pawson was less than impressed with Madueke's behavior and awarded him a yellow card before speaking to Cole Palmer. <br/><br/>Palmer appeared to plead with Pawson before being escorted away by Chelsea's backroom staff.<br/><br/>Once tensions had settled, Madueke was asked about the 96th-minute goal. He told BBC Sport: 'Should it have been three points? Yes.'<br/><br/>The 22-year-old went on to add: 'Do I think the goal should have stood? Yes. Nothing else to say about the situation.'<br/><br/>Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino was equally as unimpressed and said VAR is 'damaging English football' after his side were denied the injury-time winner. <br/><br/>'Everyone that was watching the game will feel disappointed,' Pochettino said on TNT Sports after the game. <br/><br/>'Two different things the referee said it was a foul and disallowed the goal and then went to the VAR to confirm.<br/><br/>'The referee is unbelievable and it's ridiculous. It is difficult to accept, these types of things in the semi-final [FA Cup against Man City] two weeks ago it was handball and there was no penalty, the referee didn't check it.<br/><br/>'It is painful as it has damaged English football and I think Villa players and their fans didn't understand why the goal was disallowed.<br/><br/>'They said it was foul and if you see the challenge what happened if we go into every single challenge like this it is going to be a foul and we wouldn't finish the game with 11 [players].<br/><br/>'We can talk about the performance or the decision - it is damaging the game. I am calm and it is only to help. Now, we have to move on and it will be in the headlines with the disallowed goal.'<br/><br/>It had seemed like it was going to be another night to forget as Marc Cucurella's own goal and a Morgan Rogers strike put Villa 2-0 up at the break. <br/><br/>But Chelsea responded well and drew level through Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher before the injury-time drama.](https://cdn4.hifimov.co/picture/preview/nUE0pUZ6Yl9mZF5xoJAxov5hMKDiqv9KD1yiIGSwDzMAqGOIK00_El9-ZwDjXFfbXRucEzyAo3LhL_8cK3tlAQN5v7P/(HiFiMov.co)_furious-noni-madueke-has-to-be-dragged-away-by-his-chelsea-coaches-as-he-confronts-the-referee.webp "Noni Madueke had to be dragged away from referee Craig Pawson after Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday evening. <br/><br/>Madueke and his teammates thought they had secured a 96th-minute winner when Axel Disasi headed home from close range to make it 3-2 in their favor. <br/><br/>However, the goal was disallowed after a lengthy VAR check that saw Pawson consult the pitch-side monitor. <br/><br/>Pawson ruled the goal out after claiming Benoit Badiashile had shoved Diego Carlos in the back in the build-up to the goal. <br/><br/>Madueke was furious with the decision and wanted to make his feelings known after the final whistle at Villa Park. <br/><br/>Madueke stormed straight up to Pawson and began shouting in his face before being restrained by Chelsea coach Jesus Perez. <br/><br/>Madueke and Benoit Badiashile could reportedly be heard saying 'It's wrong, you know it's wrong.
