Fulham Eliminates Manchester United 4-3 on Penalties in FA Cup

Manchester United's disappointing season continued as they were eliminated from the FA Cup by Fulham, losing 4-3 in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in regulation and extra time. Fulham took the lead with a goal from Calvin Bassey just before half-time, but Bruno Fernandes equalized in the second half. Despite a valiant effort, including a near miss from 17-year-old Chido Obi in extra time, United could not secure victory and fell short in the penalty shootout, with Bernd Leno saving crucial penalties from Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee. The defeat marks a significant blow to United's hope of defending their FA Cup title and adds to their struggles this season. Fulham will advance to face Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals, looking to achieve their first FA Cup win.
