"An upset as astonishing for its manner as it was for its proportions. Grimsby Town, a League Two side, beat top-flight Manchester United. Not only did they win, but they were 2-0 up after 30 minutes following goals from Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren. The visitors pulled one back through Bryan Mbeumo with 15 minutes to go and United looked like they might squeeze through when Harry Maguire went on to level in the 89th minute."
"United were beaten 12-11 on spot-kicks, having clawed their way back from 2-0 behind with 15 minutes to go to scrape a 2-2 draw. It went to penalties and what ensued was an incredible shootout, with Clarke Oduor for Grimsby and Matheus Cunha for Manchester United missing the only penalties as each side's 11 took one. The players then went again and, after Darragh Burns scored to make it 12-11, Mbeumo struck his second spot-kick against the crossbar."
Grimsby Town, a League Two side, produced a major upset by beating Manchester United on penalties after a 2-2 draw. Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren put Grimsby 2-0 up inside 30 minutes before Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire hauled United back late on. The shootout extended beyond the first 11 takers, finishing 12-11 when Darragh Burns scored and Mbeumo struck the crossbar. Liverpool also suffered a shock defeat after making ten changes, with Ryan Hardie converting a penalty and Conor Hazard making crucial saves. York City’s 3-0 Old Trafford win three decades earlier remains another historic cup surprise.
