FA Cup 2023: Man United fight back to win, Spurs and Southampton out

On Wednesday, Manchester United defeated West Ham United 3-1 after falling down by a goal to advance to the FA Cup quarterfinals as Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton suffered shocking losses. At Old Trafford, Said Benrahma's goal in the 54th minute gave Manchester United the lead three days after they won the League Cup. However, a West Ham player's own goal and late goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Fred put the hosts into the round of eight. Erik Ten Hag, the manager of Manchester, was thrilled with his team. The Dutchman told ITV, "The resilience from this squad and the conviction they're going to win it was incredible. West Ham, who have only triumphed once in their past 22 visits to Old Trafford, took advantage of shoddy defence to score first. Tomas Soucek maintained the ball in play on the left touchline and passed it to Benrahma, who beat David De Gea with a shot into the top corner as Manchester United players yelled for a throw-in. As Bruno Fernandes sent a precise free kick that Casemiro connected with, United felt they had equalised. But, the goal was overturned for offside. Until Argentine striker Garnacho controlled the ball inside West Ham's penalty area and curled a shot past goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, the game appeared headed for extra time. The 12-time FA Cup champions progressed to a sixth-round home match against Fulham after Brazilian Fred scored a third.You could see the belief; there was serenity; and there was never a panicked moment, according to Ten Hag. "I had a strong feeling that we could still win the game," he remarked.
