Highlights

Manchester United have advanced to the semifinals of the FA Cup after a dramatic 3-1 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, March 19th.
The match took a wild turn in the second half when Fulham's Nathaniel Chalobah was sent off for a dangerous challenge. Just minutes later, Layvin Kurzawa and Carlos Vinicius also received red cards, leaving Fulham with just eight players on the field.
United, buoyed by the numerical advantage, took full control of the match. Bruno Fernandes scored twice in quick succession, with Alejandro Garnacho adding a third late on. Fulham managed to pull one back through Dan James, but it proved to be a mere consolation.
The victory marks a significant milestone in manager Erik ten Hag's tenure at Old Trafford. It is the first time United have reached the FA Cup semifinals since 2018, and they will be hopeful of adding to their record-breaking 12 FA Cup titles.
United will now turn their attention to the Premier League, where they face Liverpool at home on March 5th. Fulham, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from this setback when they host Burnley in the Championship on March 4th.
