Man United Knocked Out Of The FA Cup by Fulham On Penalties<\/h2>\n

There was little to separate the two sides in the first half with neither team producing many moments of quality.<\/p>\n

As half time approached, it looked as if it would be goalless at the break. But in the first minute of added-on time, Fulham struck.<\/p>\n

Calvin Bassey made the breakthrough with his head after some poor defending from the hosts at a corner. United’s defender managed to allow Rodrigo Muniz to get his head to the ball which he was able to flick on to Bassey at the back-post to flick in.<\/p>\n

United struggled to test Bernd Leno in Fulham’s net for the start of the second half but the visitors struggled to capitalise.<\/p>\n

Fulham were made to rue their missed chances when Bruno Fernandes<\/a> popped up with an exquisite finish to draw United level in the 71st minute.<\/p>\n

United and Fulham continued to probe before eight minutes was added on. Andre Onana was forced to pull off a superb save to deny Emile Smith Rowe in stoppage time, forcing extra-time at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Chido Obi-Martin, 17, almost put United in front at the death of first half extra-time but Leno’s instinctive save kept Fulham level at the break.<\/p>\n

After 120 minutes and the score at 1-1, the FA Cup<\/a> tie went to penalties. After six successfully-converted spot-kicks, Victor Lindelof saw his penalty saved by Leno, tipping the advantage to Fulham.<\/p>\n

Antonee Robinson made it four perfect penalties for the host, putting the responsibility on Joshua Zirkzee. But with one kick of the football<\/a>, Leno pulled off another spot-kick save to dump United out of the FA Cup, losing 3-4 in the shoot-out.<\/p>\n

Fulham now progress to the FA Cup quarter-finals and will face Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n
