Luke Shaw spoke to Jadon Sancho to try and calm his nerves during Manchester United’s tense penalty shoot-out against Brighton in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday.
United beat the Seagulls 7-6 on spot-kicks at Wembley after the two sides could not be separated across 120 minutes. The game was decided in sudden death after Brighton winger Solly March sent his effort way over the crossbar and Victor Lindelof kept his cool to find the top corner.
Casemiro, Diogo Dalot, Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Marcel Sabitzer, Wout Weghorst and Lindelof all scored for United, who had a perfect record from the spot. Shaw was not required to take a penalty, but he did play an important role, helping his team-mates stay cool on the half-way line.
