From ESPN
Danny Welbeck wrote his name in to Arsenal folklore by scoring the winner on his first return to Old Trafford, sending the Gunners through to the semifinals of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win.
Arsene Wenger's team took the lead through Nacho Monreal's composed strike, but swiftly surrendered an equaliser when Wayne Rooney nodded home Angel Di Maria's cross.
However, Welbeck pounced on a loose Antonio Valencia back-pass to score the winning goal. United's attempts to launch a comeback were hindered by the dismissal of Di Maria, who was sent off after, having just been booked for diving, he received a second yellow card for tugging at the referee's shirt.
The night might have got even better for Arsenal, but David de Gea produced two world-class saves to keep the Gunners' tally at two. No matter. There is something particularly poignant about Welbeck nicking the winner on his return to United. Arsenal fans will revel in the club's first victory at Old Trafford since 2006.
