A controversial last-minute goal from defender Harry Maguire gave FA Cup holders Manchester United a 2-1 win over Leicester City and also helped them advance to the fifth round.

Manchester United fought back from a goal down at the break after Bobby De Cordova-Reid put Leicester City in the lead with a 42nd-minute goal.

Joshua Zirkzee scored the equalizer for the Red Devils in the 68th minute before Maguire came through with the winner in the 93rd minute.

Maguire appeared to be offside, but with the video assistant referee not used, it was not picked up by the officials and the goal stood.
