Europa League: Manchester United beat AS Roma in semis, reach final

In the UEFA Europa League, Manchester United are through to the final despite losing their second leg clash against AS Roma 3-2. 

After a 6-2 win in their first tie away at the Stadio Olimpico, the Red Devils opened the scoring in the second leg clash at Old Trafford through Edinson Cavani in the 37th minute.

But, Edin Dzeko brought the match on level terms in the 57th minute, and shortly after Bryan Cristante gifted Roma a go-ahead goal.

It did not take long for the Red Devils to equalize as Edinson Cavani found himself alone in the penalty area to complete a brace for his side in the 68th minute.

And then with five minutes to go, Nicola Zalewski scored the winner of the evening for Roma with a deflected shot, but the 8-5 aggregate victory sends United to their first final under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, where they will meet Villarreal in Gdansk on the 26th of May.
