Ander Herrera wins Gillette Precision Play for clinical finish to fire Manchester United into FA Cup final

ANDER HERRERA proved the difference between going to a cup final or not can be a matter of centimetres.

Spurs goalkeeper Michel Vorm was just 1.5cms from getting his fingers to the Spaniard's clinical finish, which earned him a Gillette Precision Play award and sent Manchester United into the club's 20th FA Cup final.

Our super slow-motion treatment of this crucial goal shows Herrera's first-time hit peaked at a speed of 49mph.

Vorm was unsighted by defender Ben Davies, so as the ball sailed through the left back's legs it gave the Dutchman just 0.44seconds to react.

The ball fell to Herrera perfectly 18.4 yards out, after Alexis Sanchez's pass had taken a touch off Romelu Lukaku.

Spurs had the semi-final in their hands when Dele Alli opened the scoring on the ten-minute mark. Davinson Sanchez found Christian Eriksen with an 87-yard pass, and the Dane's cross was inch perfect for Alli to stick into a gaping net.

But their lead lasted just 13 minutes after a header from Wembley specialist Alexis Sanchez, who now has six cup goals at the stadium.

United's dominance began to show in the second half, capped off by Herrera's clinical finish.

The win means United have now reached a 29th major domestic cup final - 20 FA Cups and 9 League Cup. That is more than any side in English football.

Mourinho could become the third manager to win the FA Cup with two different clubs - after Herbert Chapman with Huddersfield Town in 1922 and Arsenal in 1930, and Billy Walker with Sheffield Wednesday in 1935 and Nottingham Forest in 1959.

He's won the FA Cup once before with Chelsea in 2007, beating Sir Alex Ferguson's United 1-0.

This is Spurs' eighth consecutive FA Cup semi-final defeat.
