LONDON -- Hull reached the FA Cup final for the first time in its 110-year history as the Premier League side twice came from behind to beat third-tier club Sheffield United 5-3 in a lively encounter on Sunday. After winning world footballs oldest cup competition three times as a Manchester United player in the 1990s, Hull manager Steve Bruce will bring his team back to Wembley Stadium on May 17 for the final against 10-time winner Arsenal. "If you had said 10 years ago that Hull will play Arsenal in the FA Cup final, people would have been scratching their heads," Bruce said. "It just shows you what can be done." Hull is now just one game away from emulating Wigans surprising run to the title last year. But the team will need to improve vastly on its first-half performance in order to win the clubs first major trophy after United -- which won the last of its four FA Cups in 1925 and last played in the Premier League in the 2007 -- twice led at the national stadium. But Hull was transformed after halftime, with Matty Fryatt restoring parity at 2-2 before Tom Huddlestone and Stephen Quinn gave the northeast team what appeared to be a comfortable cushion. Even though Jamie Murphy pulled a late goal back for United, David Meyler quickly responded to secure Hulls first trip to a major final. "We were very sloppy in the first half and didnt get going," Meyler said. "We got together at halftime and regrouped. Its fantastic." One dilemma for Bruce in the final will be whether to play son Alex Bruce, who remained on the bench throughout the semifinal. At the 1991 final, Nigel Clough played up front in father Brians Nottingham Forest team, which lost to Tottenham. Nigel Clough was back at Wembley managing Sheffield United on Sunday for an emotional occasion as English football marks the 25-year anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. Clough was in the Forest team on April 15, 1989, for the FA Cup semifinal at Sheffield Wednesdays ground that became the scene of Britains worst sporting disaster as 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death. "With the tributes its been a very, very emotional weekend for everybody in football," Clough said. "Twenty-five years on the feelings are the same." The Hillsborough game lasted just six minutes before the full magnitude of the deadly crush became clear. On this weekend of tributes to the victims, and education for a new generation of fans, every game kicked off seven minutes later than usual. Fittingly, Uniteds opening goal came from Jose Baxter, a boyhood Liverpool fan who went on to play for Everton. After bundling the ball in from close range, the 22-year-old Baxter removed his black armband and held it up while looking up to the sky. Baxters side was in the ascendancy for much of the first half, making Hull look ordinary, until Sagbo slid in to equalize in the 42nd. But Uniteds lead was restored inside 100 seconds as Stefan Scougall completed a speedy break. The game swung in Hulls favour, however, within 10 minutes of the second half as Fryatt forced the ball over the line from close range after United failed to fully clear a corner, and Huddlestone weaved his way through the defence before cooling chipping into the net. Then came what proved to Hulls match-winner, with Quinn heading in against his former club in the 67th. Even though Murphy gave United hope of a dramatic comeback by slicing in his teams third in the 90th, Meylers goal settled the match. If Hull does manage to etch its name onto the FA Cup, it wont be the one Hull owner Assem Allam wants to see. The Egyptian businessman was rebuffed by the FA earlier this week in his attempt to change Hull City to Hull Tigers, a name he believes would help the team earn more international fans and exposure. Winning the Cup -- and qualifying for the Europa League -- could have the same effect.

Johny Hendricks vs.Jack Armstrong is back with five thoughts on Justin Holidays potential, Rajon Rondos salute from Celtics fans, Brandon Jennings taking over the Pistons, Jimmy Butlers strong play, and Jeff Teagues rapid improvement at point guard. 1. Justin Holiday (Warriors): I like this young man’s potential. He’s long and athletic, can really defend, and does a nice job coming off the bench providing an energetic presence. He has earned a spot in the rotation based upon his willingness to do the dirty work. Golden State has plenty of scoring, nice to have others who will do the extras. 2. Rajon Rondo (Mavericks): Nice salute from Celtics fans and the organization this past weekend. They said and did all the right things despite Rondo saying he hasnt defended really hard the past two years. You buy your tickets and the owners pay him guaranteed money yet you dont get 100% return on investment? Im sure they werent pleased with that. On the other hand, great pickup for Dallas. Rondo’s playing for a contract so youll get his best, but I’m not pleased with the fact that a guy has to be on a contender to give you his all. 3. Brandon Jennings (Pistons): With Josh Smith gone this gguy is feeling the love offensively with greater responsibility.dddddddddddd 35 and 7 in another win on Sunday. You give certain guys bigger pieces of the puzzle and they thrive. He was awesome against the Kings. He knows hes in full command of the team now and his game is responding. Addition by subtraction. 4. Jimmy Butler (Bulls): Butler is a complete and total beast! I love him. He leads the league in minutes played and is 10th in points. The man is going to get paid this offseason. You have to love his toughness and grit and he keeps improving. A self-made man who is getting a ton out of himself. He defends, he rebounds, he makes the Bulls an absolute nightmare to prepare for. 5. Jeff Teague (Hawks): Teague is the catalyst for the now top team in the East. He’s a rapidly improving point guard who is lightning quick and gets in the lane at will. He’s averaging 17.3 points per game and seven assists per game. He’s also shooting 87% at the free throw line and is fourth in the league in steals. He’s a perfect fit for their system, creating great shots for others on this beautifully coached, unselfish team. His development has been cool to watch.
