10-man Man United knock Arsenal out of FA Cup on penalties

By Daily Sports Nigeria on January 13, 2025

Arsenal’s FA Cup dreams came to a shattering end as a resilient ten-man Manchester United triumphed in a penalty shootout at the Emirates Stadium following a dramatic 1-1 draw in regular time.

The match was filled with intense moments, including a significant injury to Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus. While attempting to dispossess Bruno Fernandes, Jesus collided awkwardly and had to be stretchered off the field in visible distress. This injury is a major blow for Arsenal, especially given Jesus’s recent resurgence in form.

Manchester United opened the scoring with a goal from Bruno Fernandes.

Earlier in the match, Fernandes had displayed his frustration by throwing his boot to the ground after being denied a free-kick, earning him a yellow card in the process.

The game took another dramatic turn when United’s Diogo Dalot received a second yellow card, leaving his side with ten men. Arsenal capitalised on their numerical advantage, with Gabriel Magalhães heading in the equaliser.

Controversy erupted when Arsenal were awarded a penalty after Kai Havertz went down under minimal contact from Harry Maguire.

Without the presence of VAR, the decision sparked heated confrontations between players, with Maguire accusing Havertz of simulation. The altercation resulted in yellow cards for Maguire, Gabriel Magalhães, and Havertz.

Arsenal’s Martin Ødegaard stepped up to take the penalty, but his effort was saved by United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, leaving the scoreline unchanged.

With no further goals in extra time, the match proceeded to a penalty shootout. Manchester United displayed remarkable composure, successfully converting all five of their spot-kicks, while Arsenal missed two, including one from Kai Havertz.

United emerged victorious, advancing to the next round of the FA Cup.
