Manchester United Defeats Arsenal in FA Cup

In a thrilling FA Cup match on January 12, Manchester United edged past Arsenal 5-3 in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw, with Altay Bayindir making a crucial save from Martin Odegaard's penalty. The match saw a heated moment involving Manuel Ugarte, who appeared to head-butt Kai Havertz after a controversial penalty decision awarded to Arsenal. This incident, along with Ugarte's tussle with Havertz and Lisandro Martinez, has led to speculation about potential disciplinary action, as there was no VAR oversight in the early rounds of the Cup. Ugarte's actions have drawn mixed reactions, with some fans suggesting that his response was justified due to Havertz holding him by the throat. No immediate actions were taken against either player during the match, but the FA may consider retrospective measures. The outcome leaves Arsenal in a challenging position, having not won in their last three matches.
