Manchester United 0-0 Middlesbrough (7-8 on pens): Man Utd lose in FA Cup to Championship side
Manchester United crashed out of the FA Cup as Championship side Middlesbrough came from behind at Old Trafford and then emerged victorious in a nail-biting 16-shot penalty shootout.
United will complain about Middlesbrough's controversial equaliser, scored by Matt Crooks, who tapped home despite Duncan Watmore clearly handling in the build-up. Following a revision of the interpretation of the rule by IFAB during the summer, accidental handball is only penalised if the player in question then scores a goal.
Fernandes did not have a great night. He thought he was offside when, unmarked, he headed over from eight yards. But TV replays showed the goal would have stood. That miss was about the same level as when he hit the post in the second half with the goal at his mercy. And if United's evening was not miserable enough on the pitch, they suffered embarrassment off it as well, when a technical fault meant no food or beverages could be provided at half-time, triggering chants of 'we want Glazers out' from a section of the United support.This was not the first time recently Wilder had left Old Trafford as a winner.
