Captain Harry Maguire lauded youngster Alejandro Garnacho after his heroics helped Manchester United beat West Ham United 3-1 in the fifth round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
After falling behind to Said Benrahma's controversial opener just nine minutes into the second half, United produced a late rally to come from behind and extend their unbeaten run at home to 19 matches in all competitions. Hammers defender Nayef Aguerd netted an unfortunate own-goal with just 13 minutes left on the clock and that looked as though it would be enough to send the contest to extra time.
However, Garnacho produced a moment of magic in the final minute of normal time, curling a brilliant right-footed effort into the far corner beyond goalkeeper Alphonse Areola to put United 2-1 up. There was still time for a third goal, though, and Fred made sure of the victory once and for all deep into stoppage time.
