Man United Eases By Yeovil to Advance in FA Cup on Alexis Sanchez's Debut

Manchester United progressed to the next round of the FA Cup after a four-goal rout against giant killers Yeovil Town on Friday night, with United's new No. 7 Alexis Sanchez picking up his first man of the match award.

Darren Way's side looked purposeful from the first whistle and put Manchester United under pressure with direct play and willingness to battle for loose balls.

Jordan Green in particular caused problems up against the inexperienced Victor Lindelof, and Yeovil almost took the lead early as the 22-year-old burst passed the Swedish defender and struck from an acute angle from 12 yards.
