Altay Bayindir and Joshua Zirkzee were the penalty shoot-out heroes as 10-player Manchester United defeated Arsenal in an epic contest to make it through to the FA Cup fourth round, where they will host Leicester.

 

The United goalkeeper compounded Kai Havertz’s nightmare afternoon with a full-stretch stop from the Gunners striker to help secure the holders a 5-3 win from 12 yards after the tie had finished 1-1 following extra-time at the Emirates.

 

Havertz missed two glorious close-range openings during the match and never looked confident of making amends in the shoot-out. His saved penalty gave Zirkzee the chance to strike the winning spot-kick and the Dutchman delivered before revelling in United’s success with the big away following after his own recent struggles in front of goal.

Diogo Dalot’s sending off had forced United to play for an hour with a player less but Arsenal were unable to add to Gabriel’s equaliser to Bruno Fernandes’ breakaway goal, with Martin Odegaard’s controversial penalty in normal time also saved by Bayindir. “Justice” posted United on their social media account afterwards.
