Manchester United reached the FA Cup quarter finals for the seventh straight season as substitute Scott McTominay’s goal in extra-time sealed a 1-0 win over West Ham United on Tuesday.

Both sides lacked spark in a dire fifth-round clash with precious few chances in normal time at Old Trafford.

But McTominay finally relieved the tedium with a sharp low shot from Marcus Rashford’s clever set-up in the 97th minute.

United badly missed the creative flair of Bruno Fernandes, who came off the bench in the 73rd, although they did fashion the only real chances in normal time with Lukasz Fabianski making good saves from Victor Lindelof and Rashford.

West Ham, for whom David Moyes is still looking for his first win back at Old Trafford as an opposing manager, created next to nothing although Craig Dawson failed to connect with a header in front of goal in the last seconds of normal time.

“I think we got about 15 to 17 shots in the end but we need to be more clinical,” United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said.

“We should have finished the game off earlier and finished in 90 minutes but sometimes it doesn’t happen.

“We needed to have a good result and a good feeling after today because we were low after the Everton game. It’s hard to take but they were really focused and did the job.”

Burnley ousted

Burnley were knocked out of the FA Cup by Championship side Bournemouth after suffering a 0-2 defeat to the second-tier team at Turf Moor. Sam Surridge’s 21st-minute goal and a late Junior Stanislas penalty sent the Cherries, relegated from the top flight last season, into the quarter finals.
