Manchester United consolidated its good present this Tuesday and did so by eliminating West Ham in the round of 16 of the FA Cup. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team needed extra time to win the victory by the minimum at Old Trafford and thus celebrate the classification to the next round.
The initiative was by the Red Devils, who achieved immediate control of the game. With greater possession and insistent in the search for the advantage, they generated chances and had the chance to achieve it with a header from Victor Lindelöf, but he ran into goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, who denied him the celebration with a formidable save.
The result in tables remained in the meeting and took hold beyond the break. The dominance posture continued in the premises for the second half and, although they did not suffer danger in their own goal, they barely saw the opposing goal on one occasion, which was not enough to get up in regulation time.
Before this score, the match was moved to the extension as a definition stage. In this instance, the homeowners showed their strength and obtained the victory through Scott McTominay at minute 98, after a counterattack.
