Newport vs Manchester United LIVE: FA Cup result, final score and reaction as United narrowly avoid cup upset

What a strike from Morris!

A thunderous effort from the central midfielder, who chests the ball down before unleashing a superb half-volley on goal. The ball takes a slight deflection off Martinez and flies into the far corner, with Bayindir well-beaten.

The home side are back in it out of nowhere.

35 mins: Despite the two-goal deficit, the home fans have remained in fine voice. Lewis launches a long throw into the area but Bayindir clings on to Delaney’s looping header.

31 mins: Antony has been heavily involved in these first 30 minutes and gets another chance to fire on goal but his effort is tipped over by Townsend.

29 mins: CHANCE! Antony with a great chance to find United’s third but it’s a heroic block from Delaney to deny the Brazilian from the penalty spot.

25 mins: The first chance of note for the home side as Evans picks up the ball inside the area. His first shot cannons back off Martinez before Bayindir makes a save at the near post to deny his follow-up attempt.

23 mins: Casemiro brings down Palmer-Houlden and Newport have a rare attacking opportunity from a free-kick. Morris whips it in from a central position but United clear away the danger.

18 mins: OFF THE BAR! So nearly 3-0 for United as Garnacho smashes the crossbar from a tight angle. Fernandes was screaming for the ball inside the box for what would have been a simple tap-in.

17 mins: Garnacho does well to carve out space down the left but his low cross into the box doesn’t find a United shirt and Newport can clear.

United double their lead and that’s Mainoo’s first goal for the club!

Ten Hag’s side have flown out the block and get their just desserts as Mainoo sweeps home Dalot’s cross with a wonderfully executed first-time effort.

His first goal for the club and an early two-goal lead for the Premier League side. Newport have a mountain to climb already.

11 mins: Nearly two! The ball drops to Antony on the edge of the box but the Brazillian just scoops his effort over the bar. United have started fast in this contest.
