Soccer-Casemiro Late Show Sends Man United Into FA Cup Quarters – News18

NOTTINGHAM, England: Brazilian Casemiro scored in the 89th minute to send Manchester United into a record 48th FA Cup quarter-final with a 1-0 victory over Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old midfielder headed in a low bouncing free kick from Bruno Fernandes from close range to keep alive United’s last hope of lifting a trophy in a difficult season for the 12-times FA Cup winners.

Manager Erik ten Hag and his team held their breath through a lengthy VAR check for potential offside before the goal was confirmed to the delight of the United fans at the City Ground.

United will face Premier League leaders Liverpool or Championship Southampton in the last eight next month.
