10-Man Man United Knock Arsenal Out Of FA Cup

Arsenal’s FA Cup dreams came to a shattering end as a resilient ten-man Manchester United triumphed in a penalty shootout at the Emirates Stadium following a dramatic 1-1 draw in regular time.

The match was intense, and Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus was significantly injured. While attempting to dispossess Bruno Fernandes, Jesus collided awkwardly and had to be stretchered off the field in visible distress. This injury is a significant blow for Arsenal, especially given Jesus’s recent revival in form.

Manchester United opened the scoring with a goal from Bruno Fernandes.

Earlier in the match, Fernandes had displayed his frustration by throwing his boot to the ground after being denied a free kick, earning him a yellow card.

The game took another dramatic turn when United’s Diogo Dalot received a second yellow card, leaving his side with ten men. Arsenal capitalised on their numerical advantage, with Gabriel Magalhães heading in the equaliser.
