Everton reached an FA Cup final against Chelsea by beating Manchester United 4-2 in a penalty shootout on Sunday after the two sides played out a 0-0 draw at Wembley. Tim Howard saved two penalties in the shootout against his former club and the Toffees will return to the home of English football to face the Blues on May 30. Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 in Saturday's semifinal, also at Wembley. Everton won the last of its five FA Cups by beating Man United in 1995 - its last major title - and now has ousted the record 11-time winner in the semifinal. The shootout loss means that United's bid to become the first club to win five titles in one season is over. The Red Devils have already won the FIFA Club World Cup and the domestic League Cup and is also defending the Premier League and Champions League titles. With a league game to come against Portsmouth on Wednesday, United manager Alex Ferguson left out several of his regular starters, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Michael Carrick and goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. That meant 17-year-old Italian striker Federico Macheda, who has scored two matchwinning goals as a substitute, started alongside Carlos Tevez with Dimitar Berbatov on the bench. United's backup goalkeeper, Ben Foster, rescued his team with a diving save to keep out a shot from Tim Cahill early in the second half of a poor quality game. When the shootout came, Cahill shot over the top but Berbatov fired weakly at Howard, who saved with his legs. After Leighton Baines had beaten Foster, Howard dived to his right to save from Rio Ferdinand. Although Nemanja Vidic and Anderson hit the target for Man United, Phil Neville - another former United player - James Vaughan and Jagielka all netted for Everton. In Sunday's Premier League games, Darren Bent's goal gave Tottenham a 1-0 victory over Newcastle to push the Magpies closer to relegation and Robinho scored his first in 12 games in Manchester City's 4-2 triumph over last-place West Bromwich Albion. Bent scored in the 24th minute at White Hart Lane. Obafemi Martins missed a chance to equalize for Newcastle in the 87th. Tottenham stays in ninth place in the league and Newcastle is next-to-last, four points away from safety. Manager Alan Shearer, one of Newcastle's most popular strikers, has yet to win in three games since taking over and now has only five more games to rescue the Magpies, including home matches against Portsmouth, Middlesbrough and Fulham. The loss left West Brom nine points away from safety with only five games to go.
