Manchester United put a spirited fight to edge out their perennial nemesis Arsenal from FA cup at Emirates stadium.
It was Ruben Amorim’s first win against Arsenal since he took over coaching role at United following the sacking of Dutch man Ten Hag two months ago.
A game that was embroiled by poor officiating, with referee seen several times as favouring the home team, United found themselves less one player when Diogo Dalot was red carded after a second yellow booking.
The red card forced United to play with ten men for about an hour, but Arsenal would still fail to use their numerical advantage to punish United
Bruno Fernandez had earlier put United in front when he got a pass from Alejandro Garnacho. But their win didn’t take long before Gabrieli equalised to put scoreline to parity.
Arsenal would have killed the game much earlier after they were awarded a questionable penalty, but United goalkeeper of the day Altay Bayindir saved the penalty taken by Martin Odegaard.
The match went up to penalties after neither of the two sides failed to break up the jinx.
