Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota sent Wolves into the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time in 21 years after a 2-1 win over Manchester United.<\/p>\nRaul Jimenez and Diogo Jota sent Wolves into the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time in 21 years after a 2-1 win over Manchester United.<\/p>\n
The duo\u2019s goals dumped United out as Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s side deservedly booked a Wembley date next month, despite Marcus Rashford\u2019s late consolation.<\/p>\n
United never convinced and could have lost by more, with Sergio Romero turning Jimenez\u2019s header on to the bar and denying Jota.<\/p>\n
But the pair scored twice in quick succession in the second half at Molineux as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s men crashed out, in their worst display under their temporary boss.<\/p>\n
Victor Lindelof was also spared a late red card after a VAR review.<\/p>\n
The 12-time winners controlled the opening skirmishes and Paul Pogba, skipper after being told by former manager Jose Mourinho he would never captain the club again, dragged a tame effort wide after 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
The ambitious Rashford then tested John Ruddy from 40 yards with little luck.<\/p>\n
The visitors dominated possession without hurting the hosts, who struggled to find their own rhythm but kept United at bay without too much trouble.<\/p>\n
Wolves were seeking a first win over United since 2011 and Ruben Neves had their first attempt after 28 minutes, but Romero claimed his low drive from a neat corner.<\/p>\n
Jota then miscued a volley straight at Romero as Wolves began to test Solskjaer\u2019s men.<\/p>\n
United were patient in possession, with Rashford\u2019s bustling endeavor a nuisance, but they never convinced against their organised hosts.<\/p>\n
Their biggest threat came when Diogo Dalot\u2019s drive hit Jonny on the arm but referee Martin Atkinson correctly waved away their appeals.<\/p>\n
Clear-cut chances were at a premium but Wolves wasted their only serious opening of the first half three minutes before the break.<\/p>\n
United made a mess of their own corner and, when Wolves broke, Jota was played through by Neves only to be denied by the onrushing Romero.<\/p>\n
It was a big miss and Wolves almost paid the price immediately after the break when Rashford darted into the box but sliced wide.<\/p>\n
But it proved only a brief concern as the hosts slipped into gear for a near-faultless second-half performance.<\/p>\n
They nearly opened the scoring after 54 minutes when Jimenez met Joao Moutinho\u2019s corner with a powerful 10-yard header but Romero\u2019s brilliant reaction stop turned the ball onto the bar and over.<\/p>\n
The momentum was with the hosts and Romero pushed Moutinho\u2019s 25-yard effort over soon after.<\/p>\n
Pedestrian United were there for the taking and Wolves finally punished them with 20 minutes remaining.<\/p>\n
Moutinho found Jimenez after a strong run and the Mexico international held up the ball, getting lucky with a ricochet, to swivel and fire in his 15th goal of the season from 12 yards.<\/p>\n
Six minutes later shell-shocked United conceded again when Jota out-muscled Luke Shaw to race towards goal and arrow a low strike past Romero.<\/p>\n
And with eight minutes remaining Lindelof escaped a red card after initially being dismissed for a foul on Jota. VAR was controversially not in use at Swansea\u2019s tie with Manchester City earlier in the day but was deployed at Molineux to downgrade the Swede\u2019s punishment to a booking.<\/p>\n
Rashford then grabbed an injury-time consolation, shooting in low past Ruddy.<\/p>\n
