Overview
- League Two Grimsby advanced after a 12-11 shootout following a 2-2 draw, eliminating Manchester United in the second round.
- Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren put Grimsby 2-0 up inside half an hour before Bryan Mbeumo and an 89th-minute Harry Maguire header forced extra-time.
- ESPN reports it is United’s first cup exit to a fourth-tier side, with Mbeumo converting his first penalty but missing in sudden death as the shootout extended beyond the initial takers.
- Andre Onana’s goalkeeping drew strong criticism after errors were highlighted in the build-up to Grimsby’s goals.
- The Press Association roundup sets this result alongside Hereford–Newcastle (1971/72), Wimbledon–Liverpool (1987/88), Wrexham–Arsenal (1991/92) and Bradford–Chelsea (2014/15) as emblematic cup shocks.
