She went to gouge out her eyes, but she got serious and Manchester United qualified for the “8” of the FA Cup! The “red devils” escaped a terrible “cazo”, after seeing Newport come back from 2-0 down, drawing 2-2, but in the end they got serious, prevailed 4-2 and booked a date with Nottingham Forest in the quarterfinals!
A rotation from Ten Hag that handed Baydir, Anthony and Hoylund a starting shirt and saw youngster Kobi Mainu score his first goal.
The visitors took the lead in the 7th minute with the goal of the captain, Bruno Fernandes, who with a strong shot beat Townsend for 0-1. Six minutes later, Dalot “served” the 18-year-old young midfielder Mainou the goal for 0-2, giving United a clear lead. However, before both teams went to the dressing rooms, Newport got back into the match, with Morris scoring a fine finish to make it 2-1 at half-time.
Newport shocked United after leveling the match in the 47th minute with Evans sending the ball into United’s net for the second time to make it 2-2.
From that point on, the players of Ten Haag raised their performance and with three great opportunities from 54′ to 68′ they threatened Townsend’s goal. The one who provided the solution in the 69th minute was Anthony who, after Shaw’s shot hit the post, found himself in the right spot for 2-3!
The victory-qualification was “locked” at 90’+4′ by Hoylund who took advantage of the assist of the other youngster, Omari Forson, making the final 4-2 for the “red devils”.
