Manchester United Snatch Dramatic FA Cup Victory Over Leicester City with Last-Gasp Maguire Header

Manchester United secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Leicester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford on Friday. The Red Devils clawed their way back from a goal down to snatch the win in the dying moments of the match.

Leicester took the lead in the 42nd minute through Bobby De Cordova-Reid, who capitalized on a rebound after Wilfred Ndidi's shot was blocked by goalkeeper Andre Onana. United struggled to find their rhythm in the first half and were fortunate not to be further behind.

However, the introduction of substitute Joshua Zirkzee in the second half proved to be a turning point. Zirkzee leveled the score in the 68th minute, tapping home after Rasmus Hojlund's effort was blocked.

With the game seemingly heading for extra time, Harry Maguire emerged as the unlikely hero. In the 93rd minute, the defender rose highest to head in a free-kick from Bruno Fernandes, sending the Old Trafford crowd into raptures.

The victory was only United's third win in their last eight games at Old Trafford across all competitions. However, it will provide a much-needed boost to their confidence as they look to climb the Premier League table.
