Fulham has advanced into the next stage of the English FA Cup at the expense of Manchester United thanks to Bernd Leno. Bernd Leno was Fulham’s hero in the shoot-out as the goalkeeper made two successive saves from Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee. The saves saw Fulham advanced into the quarter-finals and United eliminated.
Manchester United continue in their struggle to win at home as they were trailed when Calvin Bassey scored few minutes before half-time. Former United player Andreas Pereira swung in a corner that was flicked on by Rodrigo Muniz to Bassey to head in at the far post.
Skipper Bruno Fernandes drew United level in the 71st minute with a fine finish from Diogo Dalot’s pull back. United will also thank their goalie Andre Onana whise saves made then go into extra time. The former Ajax shot stopper made two good saves to deny Emile Smith-Rowe before United spurned a number of chances deep in stoppage time.
Onana was called up again when he had to save Ryan Sessegnon extra-time shot before the game went to penalties. Each team scored their first three spot kicks but Lindelof missed United’s fourth penalty with Leno saving and then repeating the trick against Zirkzee after Antonee Robinson had coolly converted Fulham’s fourth penalty.
