On Saturday, in the quarterfinals of the English FA Cup tournament ("FA Cup"), the experimental lineup of "Man Utd" defeated London's "Arsenal" in front of their own fans with a score of 2-0 and eliminated them from further competition. Despite starting the match with seven nominal defenders, the 'Red Devils' took the lead in the middle of the first half - after a beautiful attack, Fabio da Silva accurately sent the ball into the visitors' net performing the duties of a full-back. Immediately after the half-time break, the 'Gunners' had a great opportunity to equalize the match, but veteran Edwin van der Sar played confidently. "You don't score - I'll score for you" - this unwritten football rule was confirmed in the 49th minute of the game when Wayne Rooney outsmarted Manuel Almunia with a header. At the end of the second half, "Arsenal" defender Johan Djourou possibly suffered a serious arm injury and left the field on a stretcher. It is worth mentioning that in this match, defender Antonio Valencia returned to the "Man Utd" squad in September after a serious ankle injury. In the other Saturday match, "Bolton" players defeated "Birmingham" 3-2 away after a dramatic battle and also advanced to the semifinals of the tournament. Two more FA Cup quarterfinal matches will be played tomorrow. Results: "Birmingham" 2 - 3 "Bolton" 21' [0 - 1] J. Elmander 38' [1 - 1] C. Jerome 66' [1 - 2] K. Davies (from penalty) 80' [2 - 2] K. Phillips 90' [2 - 3] C. Lee "Man Utd" 2 - 0 London "Arsenal" 28' [1 - 0] F.d. Silva 49' [2 - 0] W. Rooney
