A 96th minute strike from Bruno Fernandes ensured Bolt was spot on with his pre-match forecast.

Visitors Fulham had initially taken the lead through Aleksandar Mitrovic.

But the Red Devils hit back through a Fernandes penalty after Willian was sent off for a handball on the line.

Referee Chris Kavanagh initially didn't give a spot-kick but overturned his decision after consulting the VAR monitor.

He sent off Fulham boss Marco Silva during the check, before Willian was dismissed for the handball, and Mitrovic was also given his marching orders for barging ref Kavanagh in a chaotic 40 seconds.

Marcel Sabitzer then scored his first United goal to put the Red Devils ahead before Fernandes wrapped things up in injury time.

The stoppage time goal set up an FA Cup semi-final meeting against Brighton at Wembley next month, and also ensured Bolt's pre-match prediction came true.
