Joshua Zirkzee netted the decisive penalty for 10-man Manchester United in a dramatic FA Cup third-round clash against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, which ended 1-1 after extra time. Bruno Fernandes gave United the lead in the 52nd minute with a precise curling effort, but Gabriel Magalhães equalized 11 minutes later, shortly after Diogo Dalot was sent off for a second yellow card.

United’s goalkeeper, Altay Bayindir, was pivotal, saving a penalty from Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard and keeping out several late attempts by the Gunners, forcing the match to penalties where Zirkzee clinched the victory.
