Herrera winner puts Man Utd into FA Cup final

Manchester United came from behind to book their place in the FA Cup final with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham at Wembley.

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty has given his ratings - and you also rated the players with our new player rating tool.

Here are the results.

Manchester United

David de Gea (goalkeeper)

Phil McNulty's rating: 6

No chance with Dele Alli's goal and actually little serious work to do.

Your rating: 6.96

Antonio Valencia (right back)

Phil McNulty's rating: 6

Arguably fortunate to escape a red card for a reckless tackle on Dele Alli, but worked hard in the face of Tottenham's challenge.

Your rating: 6.03

Chris Smalling (centre-back)

Phil McNulty's rating: 7

Ensured the threat of Harry Kane was snuffed out. Solid throughout.

Your rating: 6.15

Phil Jones (centre-back)

Phil McNulty's rating: 7

Made some crucial interceptions and played his part in a Manchester United defence that eventually subdued Spurs.

Your rating: 6.14

Ashley Young (left back)

Phil McNulty's rating: 6

Caught for the move that led to Dele Alli's goal, but is dependable on the left-flank.

Your rating: 5.74

Nemanja Matic (central midfield)

Phil McNulty's rating: 6

Looked off the pace at the start but ended up providing his usual solid midfield platform.

Your rating: 6.42

Ander Herrera (central midfield)

Phil McNulty's rating: 7

Unsung, excellent. Breaks things up as well as creates and arrived with perfect timing to score the winner.

Your rating: 6.73

Paul Pogba (central midfield)

Phil McNulty's rating: 7

Slow start, like the rest of his team-mates, but a growing influence and a perfect cross for Alexis Sanchez's goal.

Your rating: 6.92

Jesse Lingard (forward)

Phil McNulty's rating: 7

Took a couple of heavy challenges but always busy and looking to find a gap in the Spurs defence.

Your rating: 6.44

Alexis Sanchez (forward)

Phil McNulty's rating: 8

This is the player Jose Mourinho was so keen to sign. The big game operator who makes the difference when it matters. Superb header for United's equaliser and a nuisance throughout. Just edges out Herrera for man of the match.

Your rating: 7.36

Romelu Lukaku (forward)

Phil McNulty's rating: 6

Worked tirelessly to keep the Spurs defence busy although was let down by his touch on occasions.

Your rating: 6.31

Substitutes

Matteo Darmian (80 minutes)

Your rating: 5.35

Marcus Rashford (82 minutes)

Your rating: 5.99

Marouane Fellaini (90+4 minutes)

Your rating: 4.97

Tottenham Hotspur

Michel Vorm (goalkeeper)

Phil McNulty's rating: 5

Looked to be caught out of position by Ander Herrera's winner. Should Mauricio Pochettino have left first-choice Hugo Lloris on the bench?

Your rating: 4.36

Kieran Trippier (right back)

Phil McNulty's rating: 6

Couple of dangerous crosses came to nothing and not quite at his best.

Your rating: 5.02

Jan Vertonghen (centre-back)

Phil McNulty's rating: 5

Let Alexis Sanchez get in behind for the vital equaliser. Short of his usual standard.

Your rating: 5.46

Davinson Sanchez (centre-back)

Phil McNulty's rating: 5

Helped to create Dele Alli's goal with a superb pass to Christian Eriksen but occasionally struggled to subdue Manchester United's runners.

Your rating: 5.09

Ben Davies (centre-back)

Phil McNulty's rating: 5

Another who fell short. Was not at his best when presented with attacking opportunities.

Your rating: 4.93

Moussa Dembele (central midfield)

Phil McNulty's rating: 5

Uncharacteristically conceded possession to Paul Pogba for Manchester United's equaliser and just did not look his normal self. Gave the ball away too often.

Your rating: 5.06

Eric Dier (central midfield)

Phil McNulty's rating: 6

Usual solid self and unfortunate to see a deflected shot hit the post in first-half stoppage time.

Your rating: 5.28

Dele Alli (midfield)

Phil McNulty's rating: 6

Trademark run and finish to send Spurs' hopes soaring - but faded.

Your rating: 6.02

Christian Eriksen (midfield)

Phil McNulty's rating: 6

Superb cross for Dele Alli's opener and always probing - but could not find the magic touch.

Your rating: 6.65

Son Heung-min (forward)

Phil McNulty's rating: 5

Never afraid to look for work, but his touch let him down in dangerous positions on several occasions.

Your rating: 5.54

Harry Kane (forward)

Phil McNulty's rating: 5

Not a good day for the great Spurs marksman and talisman. Tried everything he could but ended up closed out by Manchester United's defence.

Your rating: 4.83

Substitutes

Lucas (68 minutes)

Phil McNulty's rating: 5

One wild shot but no impact.

Your rating: 4.59

Victor Wanyama (77 minutes)

Your rating: 4.29

Erik Lamela (85 minutes)

Your rating: 4.26
