In a previous match in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Middlesbrough beat Manchester United 9-8 after a penalty shootout. In an interview after the game, Middlesbrough boss Wilder said the team was delighted.
Wilder said: "We are happy that opponents will wonder why they can't make progress, that's the magic of the cup, we got luck and we took the opportunity to bring the game into a penalty shootout. ”
"When the game goes into a penalty shootout, there's nothing you can do about it, you can only hope that the result is positive and they take a positive approach. And we gave ourselves the opportunity to witness a scene like tonight, with 10,000 fans walking around the road and leaving happily. ”
"Dean Henderson is a fantastic goalkeeper, I've worked with him and I know he can save some penalties. The night was wonderful for our club and that's why fans all over the world love the FA Cup, and there's nothing better than winning at Old Trafford on Friday night. ”
