Bulgaria Star Berbatov Misses Crucial FA Cup Penalty

Bulgaria star striker Dimitar Berbatov missed a penalty in the FA Cup semi-final that saw Everton destroy Manchester United's hopes of an historic haul of five trophies.

Everton reached the showpiece final for the first time in 14 years after a dramatic penalty shoot out at Wembley.

Tim Cahill missed Everton's first penalty, but keeper Tim Howard saved United's first two efforts from Dimitar Berbatov and Rio Ferdinand. Leighton Baines, Phil Neville and James Vaughan were then on target for Everton, with Nemanja Vidic and Anderson responding for United.

And with Everton's fans providing a deafening backdrop of expectation, Jagielka calmly slotted home the decisive penalty to send one half of Wembley wild.

United, who had already introduced Paul Scholes, brought on Berbatov for Federico Macheda at the end of 90 minutes, perhaps hoping a moment of quality from the Bulgarian would avoid the need for penalties, they were left disappointed.

Everton now go on to face Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley on 30 May.
