Drama took center stage in the latter part of Saturday's FA Cup quarter final tie featuring Wolves and Manchester United. Firstly, a moment of lapse in concentration on the part of the Red Devils handed the host a golden opportunity to secure a historic win at the Molineux.
Having opened the scoring through Raul Jimenez in the 70th minute, Wolves doubled its advantage after Diogo Jota capitalized on a defensive error by Luke Shaw in the 76th minute. Watch the incident below:

Moments later, Victor Lindelof was shown the red card by referee Martin Atkinson after he lunged into a speeding Diogo Jota with both feet. However, a review of the incident by the VAR suggested that the Swedish defender caught a part of the ball with his tackle, prompting the referee's decision to be overruled.

Instead, the former Benfica center back was shown the yellow card. Still, Manchester United's chance of potentially securing its first silverware under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was dealt a major blow as Marcus Rashford's strike in the 95th minute subsequently proved inadequate to make a significant alteration to the final outcome.
