Manchester United vs. Liverpool: A Thrilling FA Cup Fourth Round Encounter
"Fergie Time" Strikes Again as Yorke Seals Comeback Victory
Michael Owen's Early Strike Canceled Out by Dwight Yorke's Late Winner
On a cold and rainy evening at Old Trafford, Manchester United and Liverpool played out a thrilling FA Cup fourth-round tie. The match started brightly, with Michael Owen giving Liverpool the lead after just 12 minutes. However, United responded well and equalized through Dwight Yorke just before half-time.
The second half saw both teams create several chances, but neither could find a decisive goal. As the game entered stoppage time, United were awarded a free-kick on the edge of the Liverpool penalty area. Up stepped Yorke, who curled a magnificent shot into the top corner, giving the Red Devils a dramatic 2-1 victory.
The win was particularly memorable for United fans as it came in the dying seconds of the game. This has often been referred to as "Fergie Time," a term coined to describe United's habit of scoring late goals under manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
The victory was a huge boost for United, who were looking to bounce back from a disappointing start to the league season. Liverpool, on the other hand, were left to rue what could have been as they exited the competition at the first hurdle.
