VIDEO Highlight: MU 3-1 Fulham
Man United are in extremely high spirits when they have just won tickets to the quarter-finals of the Europa League after defeating Real Betis with a total score of 5-1. Only facing a weaker opponent, Fulham, at home, the Red Devils are confident to win the right to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
However, because MU players got too little rest, they played quite tired. Meanwhile, Fulham played with determination and was the team that created more chances in the early minutes.

The turning point of the match was in the 70th minute. From a counterattack, Antony stretched for Sancho. The Englishman dribbled past Leno, but his shot was blocked by Willian.
After reviewing VAR, the referee decided to blow a penalty for MU because Willian deliberately blocked the ball with his hand. The Brazilian player also received a red card. Striker Mitrovic overreacted and also received a red card. Before that, coach Marco Silva was also sent off.
On the 11m mark, Bruno Fernandes easily defeated Leno to equalize 1-1. And less than 2 minutes later, MU had the second goal. Shaw escaped down the left wing and stretched inward for Sabitzer. The Austrian player hit a technical heel to make it 2-1.
Playing more than 2 people, MU comfortably pressed the opponent and they had a 3rd goal in the 90+6 minute. Fred passed the ball to Bruno to launch a very tight shot to make the score 3-1.
