MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - England forward Marcus Rashford was on target again as Manchester United earned a nervy 3-1 victory over Everton in the FA Cup third round on Friday.
United named a strong starting XI and raced into an early lead after Brazilian forward Antony slid the ball home at the far post four minutes in.
Substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin thought he had earned Everton a dramatic late draw and a replay with a near-post equaliser, only for VAR to rule the goal out for offside. "We're pleased to go through to the next round and more importantly we keep momentum going and winning games." Given their recent struggles, Everton would have been forgiven for capitulating, but they responded well, getting more than a helping hand from De Gea when equalising, with the Spaniard unable to block a low cross with his legs, and Coady was on hand to tap home.
