Manchester United 3-1 Fulham: Fernandes brace & Sabitzer Complete Turnaround for the Red Devils, Willian and Mitrovic Sent Off for the Cottagers>>>

Manchester United reached the semi-finals of the English FA Cup, following a come-from-behind 3-1 win over London outfit Fulham in their quarter-final fixture at Old Trafford.

The opening period ended goalless but that only served as an appetizer for what followed in the second half. Aleksandr Mitrovic fired home from close range after United failed to deal with a Fulham corner.

Then came the turning moment! Jadon Sancho rounded goalkeeper Bernd Leno but Willian stopped his goal-bound effort, which caused the referee to award a penalty and a red card to the Brazilian.

Fulham boss Marco Silva was furious about the penalty awarded to United and threw his water bottle in frustration. It hit the linesman who decided to have a sip of it. Then Mitrovic was dismissed for challenging and nudging the referee in the melee.

January winter signing Marcel Sabitzer and Bruno Fernandes both struck later on as the Red Devils capitalized and Erik ten Hag’s side booked their place in the last-four of the competition, where they will face Brighton and Hove Albion.
