Manchester United’s dramatic FA Cup semi-final victory over Coventry City was marred by controversy as United substitute Antony allegedly taunted Coventry fans after the match. United narrowly avoided defeat as they beat Coventry on penalties to set up a final clash with Manchester City.

Coventry fought back from 3-0 down to take the match to extra time and had a late goal ruled out for offside. Antony, who came on just before Coventry’s first goal, did not take a penalty in the shootout. After United’s victory, Antony reportedly cupped his hands to his ears in the direction of the Coventry end, which led to criticism from fans and pundits. Ex-Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison criticized Antony, saying he should concentrate on his game as he could be playing in the Championship next season.

Coventry fans and other observers took to social media to condemn Antony’s actions, calling them “horrible” and “unbelievably small time.” One supporter lamented the drop in standards at the club, while another described Antony’s behavior as “classy as ever.”
