Here is what happened at Huish Park:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/yeovil-vs-man-utd\/387637\"><strong>Yeovil Town 0-4 Manchester United<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The home side were always massive underdogs against a United side on a decent run of form and the visitors ran out comfortable winners in the end. All eyes were on new signing Alexis Sanchez, who produced an influential display on his United debut.<\/p>\n<p>It took the Red Devils 41 minutes to open the scoring. Goalkeeper Artur Krysiak and Tom James left the ball to each other and Marcus Rashford nipped in to poke home.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors doubled their lead just after the hour mark. Sanchez found Ander Herrera on the left side of the box and the Spanish midfielder found the right corner of the net.<\/p>\n<p>Jose Mourinho\u2019s side made it three on 89 minutes, through a fantastic individual effort from in-form winger Jesse Lingard from around 15 yards out. The visitors completed the scoring in stoppage-time, as Marcos Rojo\u2019s cross found Romelu Lukaku, who scored from close-range.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils will have been satisfied with the victory and<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\">will now be one of the favourites to lift the trophy<\/a><\/strong> this season. United return to Premier League action on Wednesday, as they visit Tottenham. Yeovil continues their fight against relegation when they host Grimsby on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/fa-cup-fourth-round-preview\/\">Here is a recap of what is happening in Saturday\u2019s FA Cup fourth-round ties.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday\u2019s FA Cup fourth-round ties<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whoscored.com\/Matches\/1260753\/Preview\/England-FA-Cup-2017-2018-Chelsea-Newcastle-United\"><strong>Chelsea v Newcastle (1:30 PM)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday afternoon, Antonio Conte\u2019s Chelsea host Newcastle at Stamford Bridge, as both teams look to progress to the fifth round.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea heads into this clash on the back of a 2-1 against Arsenal in the EFL Cup final. The defeat led to criticism for Blues boss Conte and the former Juventus chief will know that his side cannot afford to lose this clash. However, the reigning Premier League champions have a good home record against Newcastle, <strong>winning their last five games against the Magpies on home soil<\/strong> in all competitions. They have also scored at least two goals in all five of those wins.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle\u2019s recent form has been inconsistent. However, <strong>Rafa Benitez\u2019s side have now lost just one of their last games in all competitions<\/strong> and that defeat was against Manchester City. Newcastle boss Benitez may choose to field a weakened team, as his team\u2019s priority is to avoid the drop this season.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/42763631\"><strong>Cardiff City v Manchester City (4 PM)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Premier League leaders Manchester City face a tricky task on Sunday, as they travel to Championship Cardiff City.<\/p>\n<p>The home side have hit a run of inconsistent form of late. However, <strong>the Bluebirds are unbeaten in four games in all competitions<\/strong>. Neil Warnock\u2019s side are just two points outside the automatic promotion spots, so this competition is unlikely to be a priority for the Welsh side. Their recent home record is not great. They have won just one of their last four competitive games on home soil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manchester City arrive in Wales on the back of seven wins in their last nine games in all competitions<\/strong>. The Citizens have lost just twice in all competitions this season. They will be confident of keeping that record going at the Cardiff City Stadium. The Citizens recent away record has been inconsistent, though, as they have won one, drawn one and lost one of their last three games on their travels in all competitions. Boss Pep Guardiola is likely to rotate his squad for this clash.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Can Cardiff or Newcastle pull off shock results in Sunday\u2019s FA Cup games?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The busy weekend of FA Cup fourth round ties kicked off on Friday night, as Manchester United recorded a comfortable victory at League Two Yeovil.

Nugent\"},\"description\":\"First off, I want to say hi and wish a warm welcome to all gambling aficionados out there! My name is David Nugent and I am editor-in-chief of LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com. I have always enjoyed various sports, primarily soccer, as I am a die-hard Everton fan. Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was. That trip changed my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. After I graduated, I took some time off and I traveled through the US, exploring various casinos and land-based sportsbooks. I also spent one year in the UK, where my dream of watching Everton play finally came true. There, I realized how advanced the whole gambling industry is and that the legal aspect of it was quite different than in the US. I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses. That was the start of the online gambling industry in the US. Since I knew how online gambling worked thanks to the experience I gained when I was in the UK, I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to introduce US players to the best online gambling platforms and show them that online sportsbooks and casinos can offer an immersive gambling experience, just like their land-based counterparts. Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/Nuge1983\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legitgambling.com\\\/news\\\/author\\\/david-nugent\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Manchester United breeze past Yeovil in the FA Cup -","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/manchester-united-breeze-past-yeovil-fa-cup\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Manchester United breeze past Yeovil in the FA Cup -","og_description":"The busy weekend of FA Cup fourth round ties kicked off on Friday night, as Manchester United recorded a comfortable victory at League Two Yeovil.

Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/Nuge1983"],"url":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/author\/david-nugent\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3815\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
