Manchester United reached the FA Cup semi-finals after staging a quick-fire comeback against nine-man Fulham at Old Trafford.
Aleksandar Mitrovic gave the Londoners the lead at Old Trafford after what was a slow start from the hosts. However, Marco Silva's men buckled under the second-half pressure as a Willian handball gave United a golden chance to equalise.
Bruno Fernandes dispatched the resultant spot kick as Silva, Mitrovic and Willian were sent off in a crazy period. Marcel Sabitzer scored a stunning flick and Fernandes netted another late on to book the Red Devils a place in the last four.

Another slow start
For all of the positive impact that Erik ten Hag has had at Old Trafford this season, he appears unable to find a solution to an unfortunate habit that they have developed over recent weeks.
The Red Devils have regularly started games slowly and were fortunate to not have a poor opening passage in Seville punished by Real Betis on Thursday. That theme continued against Fulham as the visitors started the better team.
Former Chelsea winger Willian lashed an effort wide in the opening exchanges, whilst Mitrovic's header floated off target. Tim Ream also produced a stunning cross into the box that Fulham could not capitalise on.

Maguire suspended
It looked as though United captain Harry Maguire had turned a corner over recent weeks. After falling down the pecking order, he has recently found a route back into the first team and justified Erik ten Hag's faith with an excellent performance in the victory over Betis.
The Dutchman was full of praise for his skipper and kept faith by handing him a place in the starting XI once more against Fulham. Maguire's clumsy streak was on show again, though.
A needless foul on Mitrovic saw him pick up a booking and he will miss the semi-final against Wembley - where they will meet in-form Brighton.
Mitrovic punishes Man Utd
Mitrovic continued to punish Maguire and United throughout the tie and was on hand to give Fulham the lead - predictably from a set-piece.
The Serbian forward found himself unmarked from a corner and latched onto Tosin Adarabioyo's clever flick before slamming home past David de Gea. The strike was only Mitrovic's second-ever goal against the Red Devils.
De Gea saves Man Utd
So often, Spanish goalkeeper De Gea has been the saviour for the Red Devils. He once again proved why he is one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League with a series of excellent stop that just about kept his side in the tie.
Before Mitrovic's opener, the former Atletico Madrid stopper produced his best to deny Antonee Robinson before reaching another of the Serb's headers. He produced five saves throughout the game that helped his side stage their comeback.
Two minutes of madness
Just as it looked as though Fulham were set to secure a place in the FA Cup semi-finals, the match flipped on its head. After a lethal Red Devils' break, Sancho was played through and saw his goalbound effort cleared by Willian.
The Brazilian was found to have hand-balled following a brief VAR check - but the drama did not end there. Chris Kavanagh sent Fulham boss Marco Silva off for his complaints, whilst Mitrovic was also dismissed after a shove on the official.
Willian followed his manager off of the pitch with a red card of his own before Bruno Fernandes dispatched the resulting spot kick.
Sabitzer sparkles
Following his midseason arrival at Old Trafford, Sabitzer has impressed, but nobody predicted he would be capable of a goal of such quality as United completed an eye-catching turnaround.
The Austrian's impudent flick from Luke Shaw's cross really did defy description and only served to round off an astounding few minutes in Manchester.
Aside from his goal, it was a very accomplished display from the former RB Leipzig midfielder and one that will only serve to make him even more popular among the Old Trafford crowd.
Manchester derby at Wembley?
Ahead of the clash with Fulham, the draw for the semi-finals was completed. It has pitted the Red Devils against Brighton.
Whilst it remains to be seen if they can find a route past the in-form Seagulls, they could face rivals Manchester City in the final - a mouth-watering prospect for fans across the world.
