Xinhua News Agency, London, February 28 (Reporter Zhang Wei) The Premier League Manchester United and Chelsea both won the FA Cup quarterfinals by killing their opponents on the 28th. Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 and Chelsea beat Leeds United 3-2.
Playing away from home, Manchester United were about to be dragged into extra-time by their opponents that day, and Brazilian veteran Casemiro stepped up to score in the 89th minute from a free-kick from Fernandes. After a lengthy inspection by the assistant referee (VAR), the goal was declared valid and United qualified for a place in the semi-finals against Liverpool.
Due to injuries to several key players in the team, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp started the day with six players under the age of 21. As a result, they won 3-0 against Championship side Southampton, with substitute 18-year-old Danse scoring twice.
At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea were cut off in the box in the eighth minute and Leeds seized the opportunity to open the scoring through Joseph. However, Chelsea soon relied on a fluid play-up front for Jackson to equalise from a tight angle. In the 37th minute, Chelsea's Mykhailo Mudryk fired into the far corner from Raheem Sterling's cross from the right, but Joseph's 59th-minute header brought them back to the same line.
It wasn't until the 90th minute that Conor Gallagher stopped the ball in the box and turned away from the opposition defender to score a powerful shot to help Chelsea settle the battle in regulation time and face Leicester City in the quarter-finals.
Elsewhere, Wolves will face Coventry City for a place in the last four. Defending champions Manchester City will take on Newcastle United. (ENDS).
