On a thrilling Sunday, June 28, 2020, Arsenal secured a spot in the FA Cup semi-finals with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Despite a strong start from the Blades, Arsenal took the lead 15 minutes in when Nicolas Pepe converted a penalty after Chris Basham was penalized for a tackle on Alexandre Lacazette.

Sheffield United pushed hard for an equalizer, but it wasn't until the 87th minute that they finally found the back of the net, courtesy of David McGoldrick's volley from a Callum Robinson throw-in.

However, Arsenal had the last laugh as substitute Dani Ceballos scored from close range in the first minute of additional time to seal the win and send the Gunners to the semi-finals.

With this victory, Arsenal's dream of a record 14th FA Cup title remains alive.
