There were no further goals until ex-United defender, and now MUTV pundit, Phil Bardsley, put the north-east side ahead on aggregate in the 119th minute, only for Javier Hernandez to hit back almost instantly, converting Januzai’s cross in the dying embers which took the semi-final to a penalty shootout.
Only three of the 10 penalties taken were converted, but the away side came away victorious, as a young Marcos Alonso (on loan from Fiorentina) and Ki Sung-yueng scored from the spot for Sunderland and only Darren Fletcher converted for the Reds.
Fast forward 10 years and 332 days, and Evans came on as a substitute for an injured Victor Lindelof in the 44th minute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. His brave header was merely a consolation goal in the end for United and Evans, as Son Heung-min’s effort directly from a corner widened the margin between the sides to two, just a few minutes prior.
With too little time remaining on the clock, our Academy graduate glanced Amad's cross into the far corner, adding his name to the record books.
