Manchester United vs Fulham LIVE highlights and reaction as Fernandes and Sabitzer score after Willian and Mitrovic sent off
Manchester United take on Fulham at Old Trafford in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.
United progressed to the quarter-finals of the Europa League in midweek after defeating Real Betis 1-0 away from home. The Reds comfortably won the tie 5-1 on aggregate and Marcus Rashford scored the only goal in the second leg.
Erik ten Hag's side are now heavy favourites to win that European trophy and the FA Cup is another avenue for silverware this season. Fulham stand in the way of reaching the semi-final of that competition and they sit in midtable in the Premier League.
After securing promotion back to the top flight, Fulham have enjoyed a successful campaign, but they've lost both of their last two matches against Brentford and Arsenal, conceding three goals against each side.
Regarding the team news, Anthony Martial remains unavailable but Scott McTominay returns.

18:31KEY EVENT
David de Gea
Made a routine save from Issa Diop, had to be more agile to tip over Antonee Robinson's curler and made a fine save from Willian. 8
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Played as though blindfolded in the final third before Antony came on and he was perked up by their unlikely alliance. 6
Harry Maguire
Kept his place in the absence of the injured Raphael Varane and regressed. Booked for clumsily hauling down Aleksandar Mitrovic. 5

90+5' - MUN 3-1 FULKEY EVENT

An electric finish.
90+3' - MUN 2-1 FULSteven Railston
Fulham have nine men, which means a late equaliser is highly unlikely.
90' - MUN 2-1 FULSteven Railston
That's not a surprise.
87' - MUN 2-1 FULSteven Railston
The Brazilian did very well to create the first chance - it would have been some goal.
85' - MUN 2-1 FULSteven Railston
At 1-1, they still had a chance but Mitrovic's moment of madness made sure of the result.
83' - MUN 2-1 FULSteven Railston
Fred ON.
Rashford OFF.
81' - MUN 2-1 FULSteven Railston
After an awful first half, supporters will go home entertained after a mad 10 minutes.
78' - MUN 2-1 FULSteven Railston
You rarely see an implosion like that in professional football. Willian and Mitrovic sent off, Marco Silva sent off, a penalty and a goal, all in the space of just a few minutes. Incredible.
76' - MUN 2-1 FULKEY EVENT
United take the lead through Sabitzer, what a remarkable turnaround.
FA Cup drama and a crazy few minutes of football.

What a crazy few minutes, as Fernandes converts from the spot.

The Fulham manager sent off for his protest.

De Gea with another great save.
62' - MUN 0-1 FULRichard Fay
United’s makeshift midfield lasted less than an hour then, and they’ve now resorted to another one. Fulham are still in control and if they keep their cool defensively will fancy their chances of seeing this one out. United need a moment of magic from somewhere.
60' - MUN 0-1 FULSteven Railston
Sancho is on the left, Rashfod is through the middle and Antony is on the right. Weghorst has dropped into attacking midfield and a response is needed to that goal.
58' - MUN 0-1 FULSteven Railston
Antony ON.
McTominay OFF.
56' - MUN 0-1 FULSteven Railston
Sancho has been anonymous and Antony replacing him felt a certainty.
54' - MUN 0-1 FULSteven Railston
Fernandes shoots wide at the end of a counter-attack.
That was almost the perfect response.
53' - MUN 0-1 FULSteven Railston
Fred, Dalot and Antony warming up.
51' - MUN 0-1 FULSteven Railston
Changes seemed inevitable at the break but Ten Hag kept faith in the players who disappointed in the first half. United have been the worse side and deserve to be trailing.
49' - MUN 0-1 FULKEY EVENT
Mitrovic opens the scoring and that had been coming.
He came alive in the box from a corner - simple finish.
48' - MUN 0-0 FULSteven Railston
Another huge save from De Gea, who denies Willian's curling effort.
A poor start to the second half.
48' - MUN 0-0 FULSteven Railston
De Gea is forced to make a save after some pressure around the box from Fulham.
47' - MUN 0-0 FULSteven Railston
Perhaps surprisingly, there we no changes made at half-time.
Sancho seems like a candidate to come off shortly...
