Manchester United clawed their way back from a goal down to defeat Fulham 3-1 in their FA Cup quarterfinal tie at Old Trafford on Sunday night, thereby securing their spot in the semifinals where they’ll face Brighton & Hove Albion.

Fulham appeared to be in the driving seat during early proceedings, with the team gaining a valuable lead when Aleksandar Mitrovic scored five minutes into the second half. On the 70th-minute mark, however, the away team capitulated in one moment of madness.

Willian was shown a red card when he blocked a shot in the box from Bruno Fernandes with his hand. Mitrovic proceeded to dispute the decision, receiving a red card as well after he physically pushed the referee. Manager Marco Silva was sent off as well due to his own outburst regarding the penalty decision.

Bruno Fernandes successfully converted the penalty, with Luke Shaw providing the assist as Marcel Sabitzer handed Man Utd the lead two minutes later. It was six minutes into stoppage time when Fernandes put the final nail in Fulham’s coffin, handing a third goal to the home side.

Man Utd and Bright face off on April 22, with Manchester City and Sheffield United playing in the other semifinal at the same time.

Premier League club Fulham has decided to hand United States defender Tim Ream a contract extension, the team announced on Monday, thereby keeping the player in London through the 2023-24 season. The announcement comes after Ream scored the first Premier League goal of his career during Fulham’s 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Monday night.

“I feel the best I’ve ever felt, as confident as I’ve ever been,” Ream exclaimed following the win at Selhurst Park. “To extend it another 12 months into 2024 is a proud moment for myself and my family. I’m happy to continue on this journey with the Club, the fans, and all the guys in the changing room.”

Having been at Fulham since 2015, Ream has been through several promotions and relegations with the club. Last season, he was part of Fulham’s EFL Championship-winning squad.

Ream continues to be a heavily relied-upon player at the club, playing in every minute of Fulham’s Premier League season to date while also earning a spot in the United States World Cup squad, playing in each of his nation’s games. Fulham is currently in eighth place on the Premier League table, having won six of their first 16 games.

After being relegated at the end of the 2018-19 season, it did not take long for West London’s Fulham FC to regain promotion to the Premier League, as the club won another promotion to England’s top flight after beating Brentford 2-1 in extra time in the promotion playoff final.

The Cottagers, who finished 4th in the Championship in the regular season, advanced in a semi-final tie against Cardiff City and then wrapped up the job at Wembley against top-seeded Brentford to seal up another season in the Premier League.

Tuesday’s game was a tense affair, with neither team scoring after 90 regulation minutes. After 30 minutes of extra time were added, Fulham took a 1-0 lead after Joe Bryan found the net at the 105-minute mark of the match.

Bryan scored again just 12 minutes later to all but ensure that Fulham would win promotion. Despite an extra-time goal by Brentford’s Henrik Dalsgaard which added a tiny bit of intrigue to the end of the match, when the final whistle blew, Fulham celebrated as they guaranteed their second season in the past 7 years in England’s top flight.

Fulham will now look to get prepared for the kickoff of the 2020-21 season, which is set to take place in September.
