Carabao Cup winners Manchester United came from a goal down to beat West Ham and move into the FA Cup quarter-finals in a frantic finish at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Alejandro Garnacho curled in a last-minute strike past Alphonse Areola before Fred steered in an injury-time third goal to put the hosts into the last eight and see off the battling Hammers.<\/p>\n

West Ham scored first early in the second half through Said Benrahma\u2019s powerfully-struck shot which flew into the top corner past David de Gea.<\/p>\n

The home players had thought the ball had gone out for a throw-in, with Diogo Dalot and Antony both stopping.<\/p>\n

That allowed the space for Benrahma to exploit and score, with a video assistant referee (VAR) confirming Tomas Soucek had kept the ball in play.<\/p>\n

United thought they had equalised through Casemiro\u2019s header \u2013 only for it to be ruled out for offside after a VAR check.<\/p>\n

But the home side did manage to equalise in the 77th minute when Nayef Aguerd, under pressure from Wout Weghorst, headed into his own net from Bruno Fernandes\u2019 excellent corner.<\/p>\n

However, Garnacho, who also scored a last-minute winner in United\u2019s 2-1 win over Fulham in November, was the Old Trafford hero with a fine finish to put his side ahead. Fred added a third with virtually the last kick of the game.<\/p>\n
