We head to the pitch in England, and action from the FA Cup, where Manchester United traveled to face Huddersfield. Romelu Lukaku a big fan of this competition, as he has scored 9 goals in his last 9 games in the tournament. And the Big Belgian would be on target again, as the Red Devils looked to move into the quarter-finals.
Early on the burly forward receives a pass from Juan Mata, and then pushes aside the defender and fires the ball into the corner to make it 1-nil after just 3 minutes.
The hosts try and reply almost immediately. Philip Billing finds Tom Ince, but his effort goes just wide of the post.
The visitors try and add to the lead right before the half, Ashley Young crosses for Mata, who rounds the keeper and finds the net. But hold on, video review shows the goal was offside. So close. It remains 1-nil.
Second half, and Lukaku is once again on a rampaging run. After playing a give-and-go with Alexis Sanchez, he's 1-on-1 with the keeper and fires it home. 2-nil is how it ends, as Man U are through.
In other games, a replay is needed after Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea played to a scoreless draw. Southampton advance to the quarter-finals of the tournament for the first time since 2005 after edging West Brom 2-1. Brighton picks up a 3-1 win over League Two side Coventry.
