FA Cup LIVE draw: Man City, Manchester United and Fulham learn semi-final fate

Sheffield United’s match winner Tommy Doyle tells ITV: “It feels great. We worked really hard. We’ve had our own hardships at times, but it’s a special feeling to go to Wembley.”

The player, on loan from Manchester City, has watched video footage of his paternal grandfather Mike Doyle and maternal grandfather Glyn Pardoe playing at the national stadium for City in the late 1960s and 1970s, and now after a dramatic 3-2 win in 25 yard lightning. will join them in a quarter-final win at Bramall Lane.

Pep Guardiola joked that Erling Haaland’s goal record would make things difficult for the player in the future as expectations were too high for him.

“This guy will have a problem in the future, he’s expected to score three or four goals in every game, and that won’t happen,” Guardiola said.

“She doesn’t care because she’s very positive, very optimistic and never complains. Julian, again, what a partnership. When they play together, they score goals.

“I don’t know the target numbers (for Haaland) but if we play well, Erling will score. It’s incredible that he can score in just one hour. He’s very effective, he’s an incredible threat. He’s the joy of living.”

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has no doubt that Erling Haaland will be one of the game’s greatest, witnessing firsthand the power of the Manchester City forward in their 6-0 FA Cup loss at Etihad.

“I played against the greats of this time, (Lionel) Messi, Ronaldinho, (Zinedine) Zidane, Cristiano Ronaldo,” said the former City defender and captain. “After all, they are part of a very special elite group because I think even the best of them have a really hard time stopping these guys because they will find a way and someone like Erling will keep finding a way.

“The most important thing to me is that his game is still improving, and that’s maybe the difference from other superstars in general, he seems to me like a superstar willing to evolve, and it’s exciting to see that.

“I think the goal record in general puts you in a certain category, a certain bracket. I don’t need to tell you more than to show you his goal record.

“This is the hardest part of the game, but I see the mindset will improve. His game has improved since he came in six months ago, and if he keeps doing that (it’s going to have to be considered great), it’s not something you’re going to experience much of.”
