Fight Back to Victory as Tottenham and Southampton Out; Kompany's Burnley Set Up Date with City

• Manchester: Manchester United fought back to over- power West Ham United 3-1 and reach the FA Cup quarterfinals as Premier League. Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton suffered shock defeats on Wednesday.

• Three days after they won the League Cup, Manchester United trailed to Said Bernama's 54th-minute goal at Old Trafford but an own goal by West Ham's Nayef Aguerd and late strikes from Alejandro Gar nacho and Fred sent the hosts into the last eight.

• Manchester manager Erik Ten Hag was delighted with his players. "The resilience from this team and the belief they're going to win it was magnificent," the Dutchman told 'ITV'.

• West Ham, who have won only once at Old Trafford in their last 22 visits, took ad- vantage of sloppy defending to open the scoring. Tomas Soucek kept the ball in play on the left touchline and as Manchester United players appealed for a throwing, the Czech played the ball to Benrahma who fired a shot past David De Gea into the top corner.

• United thought they had equalized when Bruno Fernandes found Casemiro with a pinpoint free kick, but his headed effort was disallowed for offside.

• The game looked set for extra time until Argentine forward Garnacho controlled the ball inside West Ham's penalty area before curling a shot past keeper Alphonse Areola. Brazilian Fred added a third and the 12- time FA Cup winners advanced to a sixth-round home tie against Fulham.

• "I had a strong feeling that we still could win the ga- me, you saw the belief, there was composure, there was never a moment of panic," Ten Hag said.

• Tottenham suffered a 1-0 loss at Championship side Sheffield United after Пli-man Ndiaye scored 11 minutes from time, to stun the visitors.

• "The performance from all the players was first class and the experienced boys at the back were class too," Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom told the 'BBC'.

• Grimsby Town, 16th in League Two, continued their dream FA Cup run as two penalties by Gavan Holohan knocked out Southampton 2-1 on their own ground and sent the fourth-tier side into the last eight for the first time in 84 years.

• Grimsby led 2-0 soon after halftime but Southampton pulled one back through Du- je Caleta-Car to ensure a ten- se finale. Grimsby are only the sixth team from the fourth tier or below to reach the last eight of the FA Cup since the introduction of the division in 1958-59.

• Meanwhile, championship leaders Burnley beat Fleetwood Town 1-0 in the other tie to set up a quarterfinal trip to champions Manchester City.
