Casemiro's dramatic 89th-minute header ensured Manchester United overcame Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground to advance to the FA Cup quarter-finals and ease the pressure on Erik ten Hag.
The Brazilian stooped to meet Bruno Fernandes' teasing free-kick to score his first goal since the end of September and set up a quarter-final tie at Old Trafford against Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp's side, who kicked off 15 minutes later than United on Wednesday night, beat Southampton 3-0 at Anfield.
The City Ground tie was a scrappy affair low on quality with both sides missing a raft of opportunities. The result means United advance to a record-extending 48th FA Cup quarter-final on a night when Ten Hag could not afford to lose.
