Manchester United have been knocked out of the FA Cup after a shock penalty shootout defeat to Fulham at Old Trafford.

The cup holders were dumped out of the competition on Sunday following a 1-1 draw after extra time.

The match was ultimately decided by penalties as Fulham held their nerve to progress to the quarter-finals.

Fulham took the lead in first-half stoppage time when Calvin Bassey headed home from Andreas Pereira’s corner after Rodrigo Muniz flicked it on.

Bruno Fernandes rescued United with a brilliant equaliser in the second half, converting Diogo Dalot’s cross with a first-time finish.

Despite chances for both sides, the match remained level after extra time before Fulham triumphed in the penalty shootout.
