FA Cup - Fourth Round Replay
Result: Man Utd 3-0 Cambridge
Date: 3 February 2015
Venue: Old Trafford
Manchester United beat Cambridge United 3-0 in their FA Cup Fourth-Round replay on Tuesday night at Old Trafford.
Cambridge came agonisingly close to taking the lead only two minutes
into the game. A loose ball from Blind was pounced upon by Elliott who
took an early shot trying to bend it around David de Gea, but the shot
hit the post.
However, it was the Red Devils who opened the scoring in the 25th
minute. A deep ball from Angel Di Maria found Marouane Fellaini who
headed it on for Juan Mata to flick into the roof of the net.
The advantage was doubled in the 32nd minute as United took control of
the encounter. A corner-kick from Di Maria picked out Fellaini whose
shot deflected and fell for Robin van Persie. The Dutch striker set it
up well for Marcos Rojo to head home.
The hosts should have been three goals up after the break when Wayne
Rooney's shot was parried by Dunn and into the path of Van Persie, but
his shot went over the bar.
The result was secured in the 73rd minute as Herrera's drilled pass
found James Wilson who smashed it home for a comfortable win.
Earlier, Sunderland beat Fulham 3-1 at Craven Cottage while Preston North End got past Sheffield United 3-1 as well.
