Manchester United equal bizarre record following FA Cup win vs West Ham - but face long wait to break it

Manchester United booked their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over West Ham United at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

After falling behind to Said Benrahma's 54th-minute opener, United were given a helping hand in their efforts to get back into the contest, drawing level through an own-goal from Hammers defender Nayef Aguerd. Alejandro Garnacho then netted a brilliant effort to put Erik ten Hag's side 2-1 up in the final minute of regulation time, ahead of Fred making sure of the win once and for all in stoppage-time.

United's reward for staging a brilliant comeback against the Hammers is a last-eight showdown at home to fellow Premier League side Fulham later this month. The Reds have been at home in every round of the FA Cup so far this season, seeing off Everton (3-1) and Reading (3-1) prior to beating West Ham by the same scoreline.
