Arsenal Through To Semi-Final As Welbeck's Goal Sends Former Club, Man Utd Packing
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Danny Welbeck scored the winning goal against former club Manchester United on his return to Old Trafford to send the Gunners through to the FA Cup semi-finals.
Welbeck intercepted Antonio Valencia's underhit backpass and rounded David de Gea just after the hour mark to give the Gunners a
lead that they did not relinquish.
Nacho Monreal had given the visitors a first-half lead but United hit back almost instantly, Wayne Rooney nodding in an Angel Di Maria cross.
Di Maria was later sent off after receiving two yellow cards in as many minutes, the first for diving and the second for pushing referee Michael Oliver in the back, to compound another disappointing night for Louis Van Gaal's men.
Welbeck was chosen ahead of Olivier Giroud in the Arsenal XI, while Luke Shaw came into the home side's defence with Marcos Rojo shifting into the centre to cover for the absent Jonny Evans, suspended for six matches for spitting at Newcastle United striker Papiss Cisse last week.
Arsenal started brightly with Alexis Sanchez probing, but United were the ones who looked most likely to break the deadlock Marouane
Fellaini's hesitance in the penalty area ending one promising situation after 14 minutes.
Arsenal win means they are no longer under dogs to Manchester united and united will go trophy less this season.
