Video Highlights: Newport 2-4 Manchester United - All Goals (Watch)


They certainly didn't make an easy job of it, but that late rally gives Manchester United a 4-2 win over Newport County and seals their passage into the fifth round of the FA Cup! Morris' first-half piledriver had already got the Exiles faithful off their feet, and Will Evans' equaliser just two minutes into the second half sparked absolute bedlam, locking the hosts up at 2-2 and giving the shell-shocked visitors a mountain to climb! Chances came and went for both Fernandes and Martinez, before Shaw's curling finish came back off the post and Antony tapped home the rebound to restore United's lead. 

Newport pressed for yet another equaliser with goalscorers Evans and Morris testing Bayindir from range, but the Red Devils would have the final say, splitting the Exiles through the middle for Hojlund to net their fourth via another rebounded shot. 

Having dug deep to avoid one of the FA Cup's ultimate giant-killings, the Red Devils head into the fifth round to face either Bristol City or Nottingham Forest, while Newport's journey in the tournament ends after giving the best possible account of themselves.
