FA Cup: Boro knock Manchester United out of the cup
Manchester United 1 - 1 Middlesbrough (Boro win on penalties)
Boro caused a huge shock to knock Manchester United out of the Emirates FA Cup.
United crashed out of the cup as Middlesbrough came from behind at Old Trafford. They then emerged victorious in a penalty shootout.
Young striker Anthony Elanga blasted his shot over the bar to give Chris Wilder's side a win that was celebrated exuberantly by fantastic away following
United will complain about Middlesbrough's controversial equaliser, scored. What did you think?
Let's have a look at the best reaction
One United fan told us: "I'm gutted! This was probably our best chance to win a trophy this season."
United interim manager Ralf Rangnick shared this disappointment: "We're really disappointed. The players, the staff, everybody. We should have killed off the game in the first half. We could easily have been 3-0 or 4-0.
We started well and played extremely well in the whole first half. Our movement and tempo of the game were exactly what we intended to do. But it was only 1-0 and a goal like this can always happen, although it shouldn't have happened from our perspective because we didn't defend well, we were too open in that counter attacking situation."
The Middlesbrough fans in the ground looked like they had a fantastic night though.
@Boro can trap the ball with hands now. That will make it tough on @ManUtd #handball pic.twitter.com/rPdmq2KR5h
