ON THIS DAY 2025:
Two goals from Joe Willock and one from Callum Wilson saw United progress to the Fifth Round of the FA Cup at St. Andrew’s on a cold wet Saturday evening and a hostile atmosphere on and off the pitch.
The win was achieved by a collection of players in various stages of form and fitness, unsurprisingly struggling to play flowing football in an unfamiliar line-up against opponents with one foot in the Championship.

If we played them now we’d struggle to beat them.
Their second goal is still one of the best goals I’ve seen live
The atmosphere at St Andrew’s was excellent; a proper bearpit. I can’t remember many games where I’ve been so worried for injuries though, they were kicking lumps out of us
