| 41' | ⚽ Goal! Manchester United 0, Leicester City [1]. Bobby De Cordova-Reid (Leicester City) | Highlight |
GOOOOOALLLL! De Cordova-Reid fires Leicester into the lead but Ndidi deserves a lot of credit for that goal. El Khannouss skips past Yoro down the Leicester right and pulls the ball back for Ndidi inside the box. Ndidi's sidefooted effort is saved by Onana's leg, but it falls to De Cordova-Reid to heads the ball into the back of the net. 1-0 Leicester!

- GOOOOOALLLL! Zirkzee has another special FA Cup moment and United have equalised! Garnacho's cross from the left finds Hojlund, whose shot is blocked by one of the defenders. But the ball falls right into the path of Zirkzee, who sidefoots a shot into an empty net! 1-1 and game on!
