Harry Maguire scored a 118th minute’s goal to book a spot for the newly resurrected Manchester United in the FA semi-final
The first half ended 0-0 but was not devoid of action.
The second was goal blessed with both teams going out in search of goal, even defenders were seen much deeper in the final third of the opposing half.
Manchester United were all attacking in the match with 51 minutes on the clock, Harry Maguire drove the ball to the front sent it to Shaw, who sent the ball in to the box for Ighalo but was deflected and a loose ball for Ighalo to finish. A wonderful poacher skill from the Nigerian striker!
The Reds were determined to keep the 1 goal margin with 6 players back to defend Buendia gave a low ball to Cantwell who ran at them before unleashing a 25 yard shot to beat Romero into the bottom corner, it left Romero rolling on the ground.
The two teams have landed significant blow by scoring a goal each in the match but a final knockout punch was needed to decide the game. The Norwich team were playing one man down when Klose pulled Ighalo down before he could run into the box after a sublime back heel pass to him by Bruno, which earned him a straight red card before the end of second half.
The match was in the dying stages, defenders were out in an all attack play, Maguire, and Luke Shaw was all in the box to see if they could get a goal.
Rashford ran down the left wing gave a decent pass to Pogba who dinks it into the box for Ighalo, he sends it to Martial he could not finish it, a loose ball, the English defender lashes it into the box at 118th minutes.
The debt is settled, it took a while but the former Leicester man has lived up to the 87M Euros he was bought from the Fox last summer.
We will wait for the remaining results to see who the Ole team would meet in the semifinal of the competition.
