JOE BERNSTEIN’S FULL REPORT: Burnley 1-0 Fleetwood

Burnley reached their first FA Cup quarter-finals since 2003 when substitute Connor Roberts scored in the 90th minute to end the brave resistance of 10-man Fleetwood.

Vincent Kompany cut a frustrated figure on the touchline as his runaway Championship leaders squandered a host of chances despite Cian Hayes being dismissed on the stroke of half-time.

But not for the first time this season, The Clarets struck late to gain victory.

MATT BARLOW’S FULL REPORT: Sheffield United 1-0 Tottenham

When Tottenham needed inspiration they summoned Harry Kane but Sheffield United had the match-winner in substitute Iliman Ndiaye who came on to settle the tie and embarrass the Premier League visitors.

Ndiaye struck in the 79th minute, a brilliant solo goal, collecting the ball from a blocked cross, wriggling into a crowded penalty area and firing a low shot through the legs of Eric Dier to beat Fraser Forster at his near post.

Bramall Lane erupted. The Blades, having beaten non-league’s Hollywood upstarts Wrexham in the previous round, had sent out their fringe team for this one, but they frustrated Spurs and grew into the game.

PAUL BROWN’S FULL REPORT: Southampton 1-2 Grimsby

Gavan Holohan made sure something fishy went down on the south coast as Grimsby made FA Cup history.

He scored penalties either side of half time as the League Two underdogs sunk Premier League Southampton, who pulled one back through Duje Caleta-Car, in a true giant killing.

In doing so, they became the first team EVER to eliminate FIVE different teams from a higher division in the competition in one season.

CHRIS WHEELER’S FULL REPORT: Man United 3-1 West Ham

We were into the 90th minute at Old Trafford, heading into four minutes of added time and towards extra-time. West Ham had done more than enough to earn it, having come close to knocking Manchester United out of the FA Cup.

But Erik ten Hag has built a team that knows how to win. Three days after lifting the Carabao Cup at Wembley, United dug deep and produced the goals that could give them a chance of going back there.

The board was about to go up showing four minutes of added time when Nayef Aguerd — whose own-goal had allowed United back into the tie — fluffed a clearance from Bruno Fernandes’ cross and then blocked Wout Weghorst’s effort.

FULL TIME! Sheffield United knock out Spurs!

Another huge upset as the Blades hold on to knock Tottenham out of the FA Cup with a 1-0 win.

21:41

FULL TIME: Man United 3-1 West Ham

Manchester United complete their comeback with three smart goals, booking their place in the last eight of the FA Cup.

21:40

GOAL! Man United 3-1 West Ham

94′ – That’s that! Fred puts the match beyond doubt.

The Brazilian reacts first to pounce upon the loose ball in the penalty area and keeps his head over the ball, driving his strike low and down the middle of the goal past diving Areola.

21:38

Rashford nearly seals it

93′ – Rashford breaks clear of the defence and has a chance to seal it, but fluffs his effort, which edges agonisingly past the post. 

Garnacho comes off for Man United, as Varane is called upon to steady the ship.

21:36

GOAL! Man United 2-1 West Ham

90′ – Weghorst’s strike ricochets out to Garnacho inside the penalty area, but the Argentine still has plenty to do!

He checks in on his right foot as he has all game and rips a beauty past the despairing Areola between the sticks.

That’s surely the winner at Old Trafford. Surely?!

21:34

GOAL! Sheffield United take the lead!

This could be a HUGE day of upsets! Sheffield United go ahead against Spurs through Ndiaye in the 79th minute!

21:33

FULL TIME: Burnley beat Fleetwood

It’s all over at Turf Moor, with Burnley advancing to the quarter-finals thanks to a late 1-0 win.

21:31

87′, Manchester United

ON: Fred

OFF: Sabitzer

West Ham

ON: Scamacca, Bowen

OFF: Antonio, Fornals

21:28

Casemiro threatens again

84′ – Fernandes’ free-kick finds the head of Casemiro again, but this time his effort goes straight down Areola’s throat.

21:27

Paqueta booked

83′ – Paqueta is shown a yellow for a bad challenge on Garnacho close to the touch line, incensing Ten Hag.

21:26

GOAL! Burnley take the lead

Burnley finally find a way past 10-man Fleetwood, with Roberts scoring in the 90th minute. 1-0 to the Clarets.

21:25

Man United push for winner

80′ – The wind truly is in Man United sails now!

With the crowd re-energised, Fernandes fires a long shot towards goal straight into the gloves of Areola. The experienced comeback kings will feel a win is in their sights with 10 minutes to go…

21:22

GOAL! Man United 1-1 West Ham

77′ – Another excellent set piece from Fernandes! The midfielder fires his corner into the corridor of uncertainty, and Aguerd inadvertently heads the ball into Areola’s net. 

1-1 at Old Trafford. Game on!

21:19

FULL TIME: Grimsby knock out Southampton!

That’s it! What a historic win for the League Two side!

Southampton crash out of the FA Cup after a humbling 2-1 defeat.

21:18

NO GOAL: OFFSIDE!

Casemiro’s header is chalked off, as VAR finds the Brazilian in an offside position.

Man United still have work to do… 1-0 to West Ham still!

21:17

GOAL! It’s that man again for United!

73′ – Casemiro heads Man United level from Fernandes’ free-kick. Honours even!

21:16

Fernandes volley flies over

71′ – The ball falls kindly to Fernandes just inside the penalty area, and the Portuguese star slashes his right foot at it, volleying the ball towards goal. His effort soars into the stands and well over the bar.

Moments later, Garnacho wins a free kick in a promising position on the left flank.

21:10

SAVE! Areola denies Casemiro

65′ – It’s the battle of the goalkeepers here at Old Trafford!

Garnacho tees up Casemiro on the edge of the area and the Brazilian gets excellent contact on the shot, firing his effort towards the bottom left-hand corner.

Areola gets down quickly and holds on to the strike, keeping the visitors ahead.

21:08

SAVE! Another huge stop from De Gea!

63′ – Antonio uses his power and pace to breeze past Martinez with ease and charges into the Man United penalty area.

He tries to put the ball into the far corner but De Gea gets a firm hand to it, keeping the score at 1-0.

21:06

Solid hands from Areola

61′ – Garnacho fires a low cross into the penalty area, but Areola manages to collect the ball and quell the danger.

Intensity is heating up inside Old Trafford…

21:03

SUBS: Ten Hag calls on Rashford

ON: Rashford, Martinez

OFF: Antony, Lindelof

20:58

GOAL! Benrahma stuns Old Trafford!

54′ – West Ham take the lead! What a strike from Benrahma!

Man United switch off after the ball appears to go out of play, allowing Emerson to find Benrahma in the United box.

The winger thunders his effort past De Gea and after a short VAR review, the goal stands. 

United will argue the goal – but it’s what all kids are taught up and down the country. Play to the whistle!

20:57

Casemiro creates chance for Weghorst

52′ – Casemiro is quick to impact the game as he drives forward in midfield, threading a neat pass into the path of Weghorst.

The Dutchman’s first touch takes the ball away from goal and creates a poor angle for a shot, but he fires towards goal regardless, only to see his effort blaze wide.

20:55

Antony fluffs shot

50′ – Easy save for Areola. Antony is gifted with a half chance in West Ham’s crowded penalty area, but he isn’t able to generate any power in the shot, which dribbles into the Frenchman’s gloves.

Down the other end, De Gea is needed again to deny Soucek’s towering header at the back post.

20:52

Weghorst fouls Ogbonna

47′ – Weghorst continues to play the ugly role for Ten Hag at the top of the pitch, as he chases down Ogbonna in an attempt to win the ball back.

His over-zealous challenge earns West Ham a free-kick.

20:49

SECOND HALF BEGINS

Casemiro comes on for McTominay at half-time, as things get back underway at Old Trafford.

20:46

GOAL! Southampton claw one back

Caleta-Car pulls one back for Southampton as the hosts look to avoid a major upset at St Mary’s. 

Grimsby still lead 2-1.

20:44

Second half next

Not long now until we’re back underway at Old Trafford…

20:35

HALF TIME

Half-time at Old Trafford. Neither side can go in feeling they deserve to be ahead, but Antonio will certainly be ruing the glorious chance he had in behind.

Will Ten Hag call on the cavalry in the second half? He’s got one of the world’s most in-form players on the bench in Rashford…

20:32

GOAL! Grimsby go TWO up!

Grimsby go 2-0 up at St Mary’s early in the second half!

20:29

Garnacho fires over

41′ – Fernandes threads the ball into Garnacho’s path on the edge of the area, and the youngster takes a promising first touch to leave himself space inside away from Johnson.

He gets plenty of power behind the long-distance strike but it just doesn’t come down in time, soaring over Areola’s crossbar.

20:25

Soucek to the rescue!

37′ – As the ball is whipped in by Dalot, Lindelof fires an effort goalwards, only to see the tall frame of Soucek head the ball away from danger. With Areola flat-footed, it could well have gone in were the midfielder not alert to the danger.

Down the other end, De Gea is called into action again, as Antonio strikes a left-footed effort from outside the box.

20:22

Still honours even at Old Trafford…

35′ – Not long left in the first half and still it’s an even contest in Manchester. 

De Gea has been busy between the sticks, but Man United haven’t been without chances as well…

20:19

McTominay booked

31′ – Benrahma penetrates the back line and has a half chance to pull the ball across towards Antonio, but his low cross is simply cut out by De Gea.

In the next phase of play, McTominay is booked for catching Benrahma on the back of the knee.

20:16

De Gea denies Paqueta

28′ – A smart one-two behind Paqueta and Antonio sees the Brazilian reclaim the ball on the edge of the area, and he fires a long-range effort on goal, sending the away fans to their feet inside Old Trafford.

Although firmly struck, the attempt powers down the throat of the Spaniard, who holds on to the strike with ease.

20:14

Maguire booked

27′ – Maguire lunges in on Antonio on the halfway line as the forward looks to spin in behind and picks up a yellow card as a result.

Correct decision from the referee.

20:12

SAVE! Huge stop by De Gea

24′ – Michail Antonio breaks clear of the Man United defence and is presented with easily the best chance of the match, but the forward squanders the opportunity.

His final touch before shooting narrows the angle and De Gea is able to close down the space, allowing for a fairly routine save.

He’s got to be more clinical there, Antonio. You won’t get many better chances at Old Trafford.

20:10

Garnacho in the mood

22′ – As Man United pile around West Ham’s penalty box, Fernandes threads a superb driven pass towards Garnacho in the area, but the youngster struggles to sort his feet out, allowing Aguerd to clear with relative ease.

The Argentine is looking lively on the left flank, but he’s just lacking that final product as it stands…

20:06

GOAL! Grimsby take the lead!

Gavan Holohan fires Grimsby ahead at St Mary’s… What an upset that would be!

20:05

Man United break spared by referee

Major let-off for West Ham there…

Paqueta loses the ball to Weghorst and Man United break in numbers, leaving a four on two in West Ham’s half, but the referee belatedly blows his whistle, much to the anger of McTominay and Weghorst.

Replays show minimal contact on Paqueta, who goes down extremely easy. The Brazilian definitely got away with one there…

20:00

Areola saves again!

Garnacho checks back on to his right foot and has an attempt on goal from the left flank, which Areola saves comfortably but parries into the path of Dalot inside the penalty box.

The right-back misfires and his effort heads towards Weghorst in an offside position. As he shoots a wayward attempt towards goal, the offside flag is raised.

Dalot really should do better there…

19:58

And breathe…

11′ – The early buzz of attacks seems to have calmed down inside Old Trafford, with both teams trying to carve out sustained periods of possession when given the opportunity.

19:55

KICK OFF

The final FA Cup clash of the evening kicks off at Bramall Lane…

19:54

SAVE! Areola denies Sabitzer

7′ – Fernandes finds Sabitzer on the edge of the area and the Austrian thunders a low effort on target from outside the box.

But the Frenchman does well to get down quickly, parrying the ball clear. A positive start from United!

19:53

Maguire starts well

5′ – Michail Antonio looks to get at Harry Maguire early on, charging at the England star on the break, but the defender deals with the danger well and shakes off any early nerves.

19:50

Man United take control early

3′ – Man United make a solid start in possession as Lindelof and Maguire fend off West Ham’s early pressure. 

It looks like the Hammers will be comfortable out of possession tonight, looking to defend well and hit the hosts on the counter.

19:47

KICK OFF

We’re off and underway at Old Trafford, after a minute of respect for legendary commentator John Motson…

19:40

Roy Keane urges for more from Declan Rice

Declan Rice is attracting plenty of interest ahead of the summer window, but Man United legend Roy Keane thinks he needs to do more if he wants a big move at the end of the season.

‘He’s got to focus on doing well for West Ham this season. I don’t think he’s been that great this season,’ he said ahead of the match.

‘He’s not really kicked on… I think he needs to do a lot more. He doesn’t score enough goals and he doesn’t get enough assists. For all the good talk about him, for all the PR coming out from West Ham on him, he doesn’t score enough and doesn’t get enough assists.

‘But for me he needs to do a lot more. Let’s see what he’s like now tonight.’

Declan Rice has many suitors ahead of the summer transfer window

19:32

KICK OFF

Burnley’s fifth round tie against Fleetwood kicks off at Turf Moor…

Both Luke Shaw and Jadon Sancho are out of tonight’s squad and the Dutchman has only confirmed that one is ill and one is injured.

He and United fans will hope both recover quickly in time for this weekend’s clash against Liverpool…

19:17

KICK OFF

The first FA Cup clash of the evening is underway at St Mary’s…
