Manchester United to qualify for the semi finals of the English FA
Cup.
This is courtesy of a 2-1 victory in the quarter final match decided
at Old Trafford on Monday night.
Nacho Monreal scored his first goal of the season when he clinically
finished a terrific move to put the Gunners in the lead but Wayne
Rooney quickly equalized three minutes later during a captivating
first 45 minutes.
The second half saw the defending champions regaining their lead in
the 61st minute after a catastrophic back-pass error, which Danny
Welbeck took advantage of to score in his first return to the stadium
that he called home until last summer's deadline day.
Jones failed to control a high ball, so Valencia rolled a pass back to
De Gea. However, he didn't get enough on it and the former Red Devil
nipped in, poking it beyond the onrushing keeper before slotting into
the vacant net.
The pressure to get another equalizer, however, got the best of
United's Di Maria, leading to a second yellow and a sending off in the
77th minute.
After being booked for simulation, Di Maria clasped at the referee's
shirt in an attempt to get his attention so he can complain about the
booking, but for that infraction the official showed him his second
yellow to make United's task even harder.
Arsenal held on to emerge triumphant and secure their much desired
revenge over United, having won at Old Trafford for the first time in
11 attempts.
