Manchester United achieved an agonizing victory over Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup. In a game where the “Gunners” suffocated the “Red Devils”, the United team, who were away, managed to take the lead at 52′, with a goal by Bruno Fernandes. But the game got even more complicated for United when Diogo Dalot was sent off at 61′, and two minutes later, Gabriel Magalhaes tied the game.
With the score at 1-1, the match had to go to extra time, where both teams had opportunities to settle the match, but were unable to score the winning goal, so penalties were inevitable.
There, in the penalty shootout, the goalkeeper Altay Bayindir of Manchester became the hero, because after having already saved a penalty in regular time, Bayindir saved the second shot by Kai Havetz, the other goalkeepers of both teams scored effectively, so the penalty saved by the goalkeeper directly influenced the victory of his team.
