Manchester United defeated Fulham to reach the FA Cup semi-finals

Those were the words Erik ten Hag opted for after – and with good reason.

Sunday's victory was the 10th occasion the Reds have come from behind to earn a result during the Dutchman's debut campaign.

Aleksandar Mitrovic put the visitors ahead just after the half-time break, but two red cards for Fulham, plus quickfire goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcel Sabitzer, turned the game on its head, underlining the strength of character that Ten Hag was keen to point out in his post-match press conference.

Media attention might be focused on the Cottagers' self-destruction in the second period, but we'd prefer to focus on the United grit and quality that forced that implosion.
