FA Cup Quarters: Hilarious Celebration Spotted!
Manchester United fans had plenty to celebrate after the Red Devils managed to secure their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a win against West Ham United.
It looked bleak for The Red Devils when they went 1-0 down in the second half, but they turned it around with three goals in the final 13 minutes. Nayef Aguerd's own goal brought United level before Alejandro Garnacho scored a stunning strike in stoppage time to give his side the lead. Fred then sealed the victory with a goal in the match's dying moments.
