Harry Maguire scored a potentially offside goal in extra time to help Manchester United defeat Leicester City in the FA Cup fourth round. The goal stood despite Maguire appearing to be offsides, as VAR is not used in the competition until the fifth round. The decision sparked debate among pundits, with some criticizing the linesman for not flagging the offside.
Maguire was the man of the moment in extra time Harry Maguire was Manchester United ’s hero in their FA Cup fourth round win over Leicester City with a goal that would perhaps have been ruled out on another day. Trailing at the break after another wretched first-half performance at Old Trafford, United showed some life in the second-half with Alejandro Garnacho coming off the bench to lift his side. Joshua Zirkzee levelled for the hosts after 68 minutes with the tie heading towards extra-time.
A statement from the FA in December said: ‘Video Assistant Referees will only be used in the 2024-25 Emirates FA Cup from the Fifth Round onwards. Maguire met Fernandes’ cross with a superb header ‘It has been agreed that VAR will be utilised for every match in the Fifth Round of the competition through to the Final at Wembley Stadium, and will not be in operation for the Third and Fourth Rounds.
