Man United win on penalties after hectic FA Cup clash against Arsenal

Manchester United survived for an hour a man down to knock Arsenal out the FA Cup 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the Emirates on Sunday. Kai Havertz's spot-kick was saved by Altay Bayindir, who also saved a penalty from Martin Odegaard in normal time, as the holders progressed to the fourth round.

Joshua Zirkzee scored the winning penalty for 10-man Manchester United against Arsenal after their hectic FA Cup third round tie finished 1-1 after extra time at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

United took the lead in the 52nd minute through Bruno Fernandes' curling effort from just inside the box, before Gabriel equalised 11 minutes later -- just after United's Diogo Dalot was sent off for a second booking.

United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir produced a superb save to deny Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard from the penalty spot, before the Gunners spurned several chances to score a winner.

United will find out their opponent in the fourth round when the draw is made later on Sunday evening.
