FA CUP (3RD ROUND) West Ham United 2-2 Manchester United

*Man United XI: De Gea, Rafael, Vidic, Evans, Buttner, Smalling, Cleverley, Scholes, Kagawa, Welbeck, Hernandez.
*Man United subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Valencia, Giggs, Young, van Persie, Macheda.

As always, Sir Alex put an surprising line-up with this time Rafael at the Right Wing, but the bench was strong, looking at bench it was clear that Sir doesn't wanted to lose anyway.

Shinji Kagawa battle with WHU's Alou Diarra

 Match was underway at Upton Park and for the first few mins it was Man United who dominated with one of Welbeck's goal ruled out as Chicharito was caught offside as always by a bit, later at 22 mins it was good play by Chicharito at right and Cleverley was the one who got on scoresheet with no chance for keeper and 1-0 at 22 mins and it seemed like Man United would easily wrap this one but, Cole allowed time and space to pick Collins out and his header leaves De Gea with no chance it was 1-1 at 29 mins. Nothing happened then and it was 1-1 at Half Time.

van Persie equalized to make it 2-2 

Second half was a good display of football but Collins header again put West Ham ahead 2-1 at 59 mins and Hammers came from behind to lead Man United (not many teams do that when Man United lead) but United were not finished yet Chicharito and Scholes were off for Van Persie and Valencia on 67 mins and Giggs for Smalling on 77 mins. As history says United always score late goals and yes this time it was Van Persieeeee at 90 mins and Manchester United equalised 2-2 !! And 4 added mins were famous 'Fergie Time' but nothing happened. And Manchester United earn a replay at Old Trafford of this FA Cup 3rd round.

 *FULL TIME: West Ham United 2-2 Manchester United (Collins 29,59 - Cleverley 22, Van Persie 90)
