FA Cup: Whelan gets black eye while celebrating
Noel Whelan got a black eye from a celebrating Middlesbrough fan after Manchester United were dumped out of the FA Cup by two late goals at the Riverside Stadium.
United dominated most of the fourth round tie but Whelan fired Boro ahead in the 85th minute sliding his shot under the advancing Fabien Barthez after Laurent Blanc had allowed a long ball to drift over his head, unaware of the striker’s late run into the box.
