Manchester United Knocked Out of FA Cup in Stunning Home Loss to Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough stunned the soccer world on Friday as the club sent Manchester United out of the FA Cup in a penalty shootout at Old Trafford.

The win by Middlesbrough came after 120 minutes of regular and extra time that left the score knotted up at one goal apiece.

Jadon Sancho started off the scoring for United, as his goal in the 25th minute past Middlesbrough goalie Joe Lumley gave Manchester United a 1–0 lead that they would take into the break.

The lead for Manchester United was relinquished in the 64th minute when Middlesbrough’s Matt Crooks equalized on a controversial goal that appeared to hit the hand of Duncan Watmore, who assisted the scoring effort.
