Manchester United 1-1 Middlesbrough (penalties 7-8): The Boro knock the Red Devils OUT of the FA Cup! Youngster Anthony Elanga misses sudden-death penalty in tense shootout as Ralf Rangnick's stars are stunned by Championship opposition... leaving the 9,0

Even by Manchester United’s strange modern standards this was a bizarre way to lose.

A missed Cristiano Ronaldo penalty in the first half of regulation play, two shots against the frame of the goal and then the concession of an equaliser that said everything about the ludicrous nature of the modern handball law. By the end of extra-time United had mustered 30 shots to Middlesbrough’s six.

But the fact that boyhood United fan Matt Crooks had been able to equalise Jadon Sancho’s first half goal after what looked like a clear use of the arm by Duncan Watmore in the 64th minute meant that this remarkable FA Cup tie ended up going to penalties.
