United Scrape Through…8/1 They Face City In The Final
William Hill were saved paying out a six figure sum by the width of Manchester Uniteds crossbar tonight. There was a mutual holding of breath by William Hill staff when Richard Brodie hit the bar at the very end of the match at Old Trafford. Manchester United are now the 9/4 clear favourites to win the competition, with Arsenal 3/1 and Manchester City 5/1.
We were probably the only people in Britain who were not cheering Crawley on. Had they scored, we would have faced a payout of well over £100,000, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
