Manchester United booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 2-0 win at Huddersfield on a night where VAR
sbo888 controversy ruled out a Juan Mata goal. Romelu Lukaku grabbed both goals from United's only shots on target, the first coming after just three minutes and the second just after the break (55) - but it was Mata's disallowed effort for which the game will be remembered for. With VAR in use, Mata thought he had made it
sbo888 2-0 just before half-time when breaking in behind and finishing past Jonas Lossl. However, after a big delay and confusion with the VAR pictures, Kevin Friend ruled out the goal as Mata's knee was marginally offside despite the lines used by VAR not looking straight. Huddersfield enjoyed plenty of possession and registered 19 shots on goal but United's defence - marshalled by the excellent Chris Smalling - kept their eighth clean sheet from their last 10 matches. Lukaku had United in front early on when collecting Mata's pass and brushing off the attentions of Christopher Schindler. The Belgium striker still had
sbo888 work to do but planted a clever low finish into the bottom corner. The goal seemed to spur Huddersfield on rather than United as they peppered the goal with an array of efforts. Tom Ince and Florent Hadergjonaj caused problems and forced Sergio Romero into a couple of stops that he made look easier than they were.
