Bruno Fernandes’s added-time goal for Manchester United crowned a scintillating comeback after this tie exploded on 70 minutes via a close-to-surreal passage that featured three red cards for Fulham: their manager, Marco Silva, plus Aleksandar Mitrovic and Willian.
At this juncture the visitors were leading 1-0 but this all changed as United emerged from what followed in the lead and heading for the last four of the FA Cup. Willian was sent off for handballing Jadon Sancho’s goalbound shot, a penalty given only after Chris Kavanagh was ordered to the pitchside screen by the VAR. As he wandered over Silva, boiling due to two penalty shouts Fulham were denied, protested to the referee and he raised the red card for the first time.
