Manchester United have advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup after a hard-fought victory over Fulham. The Red Devils were able to take advantage of the Cottagers’ disciplinary issues, which saw them reduced to nine men in the second half.
The match started off evenly, with both sides creating chances in the opening stages. However, it was United who took the lead just before half-time, as Marcus Rashford’s shot from the edge of the box found its way into the net.
The second half saw Fulham struggle to contain United’s attack, and their task was made even harder when they were reduced to ten men after a red card for Aboubakar Kamara. This was followed shortly after by another red card for Denis Odoi, leaving Fulham with just nine players on the pitch.
Despite their numerical disadvantage, Fulham managed to keep United at bay for much of the second half, but eventually succumbed to the pressure when Anthony Martial scored a late goal to seal the victory for United.
The win means that Manchester United will now face either Chelsea or Leicester City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. It will be a tough test for United, but they will be confident of progressing to the final if they can continue to capitalize on their opponents’ disciplinary issues.
Regardless of the result, this has been an impressive run for Manchester United and they will be looking to build on this success in the coming weeks and months.
