Early Ryan Giggs Penalty Kick Sees Manchester United Past King Kenny, 10-Man Liverpool

The 16 fourth round ties will be played the last weekend of January (29-30), with 15 Premier League sides alive at the time of the draw. Fifth tier Crawley Town is the lowest level club still in the tournament, the Red Devils hosting Derby County in a Monday, third round tie.

Torquay United Vs. Crawley Town or Derby County

As it stands, United win a match they were relatively average in, but a match also in which Liverpool could do little to overcome an average side. The fourth round will soon come calling for United while Liverpool can now turn their focus to the Premier League where they’ll hope to improve upon their 12th place league position.

As Gerrard and Carrick both went in for a 50/50 ball, it was Gerrard, slightly behind Carrick, who left his feet and lunged two footed into Carrick who had reached the ball first. Howard Webb brandished the red with little thought or hesitation while Liverpool’s traveling support rued their luck. Now down to ten men and still and goal down, serious questions are being asked concerning Liverpool’s abilities to make their mark on the match with a full 45 still left to play.
