I didn't see most of the 1st half again thanks to work, so I can't really say much about it, except I was told United dominated for the most part and even managed to create a few chances. Saying that, when Derby got into it after they had equalised they looked dangerous. With United having to field two very young full backs I had expected a bit more from the home team, but from my viewing they never really managed to get at them at all.
The opening goal was a belter from Rooney, there;s talk of a rejuvenated centre forward with is his run of 6 goals since the new year. It's good to see him scoring, anybody scoring even, but we saw last week when he has a pacy physical centre back on his case, his game went to pot. I suppose we'll see next week where he's really at, when we visit Stamford Bridge.
United more or less dominated the second half, but the moments where United generally came alive and looked dangerous were when Martial got the ball on the left. I complained about him running down blind alleys last week, not this week as he had the Derby right back on toast, giving him a torrid time.
The second goal came from the other side though, as Lingard crossed to find centre back Blind running towards the six yard box to put us back in the lead. God knows what he was doing up there, but it was vital as it seemed to knock the stuffing out of the home side. Mata finished things off right at the end after more good work from Martial.
The draw seems to be trying to be kind to us as we now head to Shrewsbury for the next round. Not one tie against premier league opposition in the FA cup, I think that's unheard of in recent years. No home tie either, no Automatic Cup Scheme, great news. No money for the Glazer's and no need to fork out an extra £50 to watch Van Gaal's brand of drudgery, result!
