Manchester United booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 2-0 win at Huddersfield on a night where VAR controversy ruled out a Juan Mata goal
 Romelu Lukaku grabbed both goals from United's only shots on target, the first coming after just three minutes and the second just after the break (55) - but it was Mata's disallowed effort for which the game will be remembered for
With VAR in use, Mata thought he had made it 2-0 just before half-time when breaking in behind and finishing past Jonas Lossl
 However, after a big delay and confusion with the VAR pictures, Kevin Friend ruled out the goal as Mata's knee was marginally offside despite the lines used by VAR not looking straight
Huddersfield enjoyed plenty of possession and registered 19 shots on goal but United's defence - marshalled by the excellent Chris Smalling - kept their eighth clean sheet from their last 10 matches
Lukaku had United in front early on when collecting Mata's pass and brushing off the attentions of Christopher Schindler
 The Belgium striker still had work to do but planted a clever low finish into the bottom corner
The goal seemed to spur Huddersfield on rather than United as they peppered the goal with an array of efforts
 Tom Ince and Florent Hadergjonaj caused problems and forced Sergio Romero into a couple of stops that he made look easier than they were
However, United maintained their ruthlessness in front of goal when Ashley Young found Mata, who slotted home from a tight angle
Referee Kevin Friend waited with his finger to the earpiece during celebrations and after two minutes confirmed the goal would not count due to offside called by VAR
Huddersfield maintained their high-press after the break but Lukaku gave United a two-goal cushion with another clinical finish
Alexis Sanchez's pass was seized upon by the Belgian and he bore down on goal before smartly tucking home
Lukaku was the match-winner as he took both of United's chances in clinical fashion but it was the England international that kept his side in the game for long periods
 Huddersfield put plenty of pressure on United's backline and Smalling kicked, headed and stifled every attack that the hosts threw their way
