Chaotic FA Cup Match Leaves Manchester United In The Semi Final

EKO HOT BLOG reports that in a highly eventful match at Old Trafford, Manchester United secured a place in the FA Cup semi-finals with a dramatic 3-1 comeback win over Fulham. However, the match was marred by controversy and chaos, as referee Chris Kavanagh showed three red cards within just 40 seconds.

Fulham had stunned United early in the second half when striker Aleksandar Mitrovic fired his side into a shock 1-0 lead. However, United continued to fight back and made a significant breakthrough in the dying moments of the match.

United’s Antony found Jadon Sancho on a late counterattack, and Sancho went around Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno and fired his shot towards the net, only for former Chelsea and Arsenal player Willian to clear it off the line with his arm.

After VAR intervention and a check of the monitor, Kavanagh pointed to the spot for a penalty and showed Willian a red card for the handball incident. Mitrovic was also sent off after a heated confrontation with Kavanagh over his decision.

Fulham manager Marco Silva was then shown a red card by Kavanagh, and was sent marching down the Old Trafford tunnel. Bruno Fernandes stepped up for the subsequent penalty and converted past Leno to pull United level in the FA Cup tie.

Just minutes after Fernandes’ equalizer, United took the lead against Fulham after Bayern Munich loanee Marcel Sabitzer stylishly flicked in from close range. Fernandes completed his brace and ensured a 3-1 comeback win for United after Fred played him through in injury time and the Portugal star smashed the ball into the back of the net.
