Man United Fans Notice Wout Weghorst's 'Kiss of Death' Seconds Before Solly March Penalty Miss
- last year
Brighton winger March blazed his effort high over the bar during the penalty shootout to give Victor Lindelof the chance to send Manchester United into the FA Cup final, one he took. Sunday's game went to penalties after a goalless 120 minutes at Wembley.
United will take on Manchester City, who defeated Sheffield United in the other semi-final, in June's showpiece event after a tense game with Brighton. Neither team scored during the first 120 minutes of the game, but it was a different story in the shootout.
The first 12 penalties were all converted, with United goalkeeper David de Gea struggling to get anywhere near Brighton's attempts. Weghorst scored his spot kick and did all he could to put off March, as he kissed the ball before handing it to the Brighton star.
It proved to be the 'kiss of death' for March, who failed to hit the target. It's not the first time Weghorst has been involved in a spat during a major game, as he clashed with Lionel Messi during Argentina's World Cup quarter-final against the Netherlands.
