Altay Bayindir was Manchester United’s unlikely hero as the holders held out for over an hour a man down to knock Arsenal out the FA Cup on penalties after a feisty 1-1 draw at the Emirates yesterday.United’s stand-in goalkeeper saved a penalty from Martin Odegaard in normal time and then denied Kai Havertz in the shootout as the wasteful Gunners had another day to forget in front of goal. Bruno Fernandes had fired the visitors into the lead early in the second half before Diogo Dalot was sent-off on the hour mark for a second bookable offence.Gabriel Magalhaes quickly levelled for Arsenal, but they wasted a host of chances to win the tie in 90 minutes and were made to pay. United were perfect from the spot as the much-criticised Josua Zirkzee stroked home the winning penalty in front of the jubilant travelling support. “We deserved to pass through this round because we suffered all together and showed character,” said United boss Ruben Amorim.United’s reward is a meeting with the club’s legendary former striker and caretaker boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, who will return to Old Trafford as Leicester manager in round four.Defeat is another hammer blow to Mikel Arteta’s attempts to end a five-year trophy drought for Arsenal, who also lost the first leg of their League Cup semi-final 2-0 to Newcastle on Tuesday. “It was unbelievable,” said Arteta. “(Based on) The performance we deserved to win the game by a mile, but the reality is that we are out and the only thing we will be judged on is that.”After four consecutive defeats in all competitions, United were much improved in a 2-2 draw away at Premier League leaders Liverpool last weekend. Amorim’s gameplan was a similar one as the visitors were happy to sit back and contain Arsenal before looking to spring on the counter-attack. However, neither side posed much attacking threat in a flat first half. And Arsenal’s injury problems mounted before the break when Gabriel Jesus was carried off on a stretcher with a suspected serious knee injury.Tottenham narrowly avoided FA Cup embarrassment against non-league Tamworth as they needed extra-time before securing a 3-0 win in the third round tie. Ange Postecoglou’s side, currently 12th in the Premier League, are 96 places above Tamworth, who sit 16th in the fifth tier National League.But the supposed gap in quality was rarely apparent as Tottenham’s dismal display took them to the brink of a historic humiliation. Tamworth should have caused one of the FA Cup’s greatest upsets in normal time but their missed chances proved crucial.Nathan Tshikuna’s extra-time own goal and late strikes from Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson sent Tottenham into the fourth round. Tottenham last won a major trophy in 2008, but the under-fire Postecoglou boasts he always wins silverware in his second season at a club. Having beaten Liverpool 1-0 in the League Cup semi-final first leg on Wednesday, Tottenham remain in contention for a domestic cup double.League Two side Doncaster beat Championship strugglers Hull 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Newcastle came from behind to beat fourth-tier Bromley 3-1, thanks to goals from Lewis Miley, Anthony Gordon from the penalty spot, and William Osula.Ipswich, who are languishing in the Premier League relegation zone, made quick work of League One (third-tier) Bristol Rovers, with Kalvin Phillips, Jack Clarke and Jack Taylor all striking in the first half. Phillips’ goal was his first that was not from the penalty spot in more than three years.Eberechi Eze scored in the fourth minute as Crystal Palace held on to beat third-tier Stockport 1-0, and Southampton, who are bottom in the Premier League, celebrated a rare win with their 3-0 victory over the Championship’s Swansea City, thanks to Tyler Dibling’s brace and a strike from Kamaldeen Sulemana.
