- Manchester United beat Arsenal on penalties to book a place in the FA Cup fourth round
- Alan Shearer picked three players but says one stood out in particular

Alan Shearer has praised the Manchester United trio after their FA Cup victory over Arsenal.
Rubén Amorim's men made it to the fourth round of the competition after winning the penalty shootout.
The Red Devils were on the back foot for much of the match but took the lead through Bruno Fernandes before Gabriel equalized for the hosts.
Diogo Dalot was also sent off, but United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir proved to be a hero by saving Martin Odegaard's second-half penalty before denying Kai Havertz a goal in the shoot-out.
And Alan Shearer praised the Turkish goalkeeper and centre-backs Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire.
“He keeps his nerve, he doesn't blink first,” Shearer told the BBC.

United beat Arsenal 5-3 on penalties at the Emirates Stadium to qualify for the fourth round of the FA Cup.
“It was a three-way tie between him, De Ligt and Maguire, who I thought were also excellent, but just because of his penalty save, I thought I'd give it (the man of the match award) to him.
“When you get an opportunity, you have to take advantage of it and he took advantage of it today.”
Bayindir, who joined United from Fenerbahce last summer for £4.3m, praised manager Amorim.
'I only help my team. I'm working every day. I am patient. I just want to help this great team,' he said.
'I want to make everyone happy for this great club. I work here every day.'
'If you're not playing, it doesn't matter. You have to be prepared every minute, every second. “If you're a Manchester United player, you always have to be prepared.”
'(Ruben Amorim) talks to us every day and wants to help us. We love him and he is always trying to do the best he can. He has a very good relationship with the players and we trust him, he trusts us. “We are fighting together.”
