Manchester United launch FA Cup campaign with Everton win

Manchester United secured a narrow victory over Everton in the FA Cup third round after goals from Conor Coady and Marcus Rashford.

The match featured a fortunate VAR moment for United, as Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s second goal was ruled out for offside after 73 minutes.

Coady scored his second goal of the evening in the opening minutes of the second half, when Rashford’s cross was turned into his own net by Coady.

Earlier in the match, Alex Iwobi was stretchered off with an injury sustained in a tackle from Tyrell Malacia.

Antony scored the opening goal for United in the fourth minute, while Coady equalized for Everton after David de Gea allowed the ball to roll through his legs and along the goalline.

Rashford sealed the win for United with a 95th minute penalty. The match was marked by physical play and a number of fouls.
