Staggering United come from behind very late to run over West Ham

What a pleasure is to watch this Manchester United! Unplayable, persistent, utterly confident and unbeatable – even when they’re one goal down near the end of the match, like they were tonight at Old Trafford against West Ham in the FA Cup, before slotting three goals for a delicious 3-1 (0-0) win.18-year-old Alejandro Garnacho has scored four goals for Man Utd this season, three have changed the game state:◉ Winner vs. Real Sociedad (17′)◉ Winner vs. Fulham (90+3′)◎ Go-ahead vs. West Ham (90′)Fred robbed him of hat-trick of winners. 😅 pic.twitter.com/cKr1RZAVxU— Squawka (@Squawka) March 1, 2023 The Hammers were toe-to-toe with the hosts, maybe even better in certain moments, but struggled to find the back of the net despite several clear-cut chances. Michael Antonio could have even netted a brace, finding himself twice in front of West Ham’s keeper, but his awful finishing on Wednesday night prevented the visitors from victory. However, what Antonio missed, Benrahma wouldn’t miss for a world, as he put it smoothly behind De Gea for a shocking lead ten minutes into the second period.Erik ten Hag ordered a massive attack shortly after, but David Moyes’ side kept resisting. And then, just then, when it seemed we were heading for a gigantic upset, a scandalous Aguerd’s own goal changed everything.With 13 minutes left on the clock, the visitors were suddenly heading for a fall, which was finally triggered by Garnacho’s immaculate shot – a genuine copy of that Benrahma’s opener – for a total comeback and a 2-1 lead for the hosts on the verge of stoppage time.In those few remaining minutes, Man Utd didn’t settle with the score but rushed for another one, and it came via West Ham’s defensive error, which allowed Fred to seal another cup victory for Ten Hag’s slot.FA CUPFifth roundTuesdayStoke – Brighton 0-1 (0-1)/Ferguson 30/Leicester – Blackburn 1-2 (0-1)/Iheanacho 67 – Dolan 33, Szmodich 52/Fulham – Leeds 2-0 (1-0)/Palhinha 21, Solomon 56/Bristol City – Man.City 0-3 (0-1)/Foden 7, 74, De Bruyne 81/WednesdaySouthampton – Grimsby 1-2 (0-1)/Caleta-Car 65 – Holohan 45+1 pen, 50 pen/Burnley – Fleetwood 1-0 (0-0)/Roberts 90/Man.Utd. – West Ham 3-1 (0-0)/Aguerd 77 og, Garnacho 90, Fred 90+5 – Benrahma 54/Sheffield Utd – Tottenham 1-0 (0-0)/Ndiaye 80/
