Manchester United have Edwin van der Sar to thank for even being in this game, let alone having a 2-0 lead. The 40 year-old goalkeeper has been an absolute rock between the sticks for the home side, and he's just pulled off yet another amazing save, this time from substitute Marouane Chamakh. Samir Nasri had fed Bacary Sagna on the right wing after drawing the defenders infield, and the right back swung in a perfect cross that Chamakh nodded into the ground and towards the corner, only to see van der Sar leap across goal and claw the ball out.
Manchester United Vs. Arsenal FC, FA Cup: Edwin Van Der Sar Pulls Off Magical Save Against Marouane Chamakh
Tomas Rosicky had a long range crack on goal as well drawing another good save, but van der Sar spilled the rebound this time, with Patrice Evra clearing just ahead of Robin van Persie attempting to tuck away the rebound. Is this poor finishing from Arsenal or just horrible, horrible luck? The Gunners have outshot their hosts something like 2:1 over the course of the match, yet they've scored none and United have two.
