After winning the 2022-23 Carabao Cup and beating Barcelona in the Europa League last week, joy just doesn’t seem to end for Manchester United. The Red Devils carried forward their momentum and registered yet another iconic victory in the 2022-23 FA Cup, defeating West Ham United 2-1 in the fifth round on Thursday.

Despite conceding an early goal to West Ham United in the 54th minute, thanks to a great strike from Said Benharma, Manchester United didn’t lose hope and gave it their all in the second half. After Casemiro’s goal in the second half was turned offside, the Red Devils netted three goals to make a spectacular comeback. Interestingly, they didn’t even need their man-in-form, Marcus Rashford, in the match on Thursday as while the first goal came as an own goal in the 77th minute, Alejandro Garnacho’s stunner in the 90th minute and Fred’s beautiful strike in the additional time made sure that United returned home happily.

Additionally, United are now 11 games unbeaten and are now in the quarterfinals of the 2022-23 FA Cup.
