Manchester United came from behind to defeat Leicester City 2-1 in the FA Cup fourth round at Old Trafford on Friday, with Harry Maguire scoring a dramatic stoppage-time winner.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid put Leicester ahead in the 42nd minute, pouncing on a rebound after Wilfred Ndidi’s shot was saved by Andre Onana.

In a match reported by The Independent, United struggled in the first half but found their equalizer in the 68th minute when substitute Joshua Zirkzee capitalized on a deflected effort from Rasmus Højlund.

With the match heading toward extra time, Maguire nodded in Bruno Fernandes’ free kick in the 93rd minute. Replays suggested he was offside, but VAR is not used in the early FA Cup rounds.

The victory was just United’s third in their last eight home games across all competitions.
