On 13 February 1999, Arsenal played Sheffield United in the fifth round of the FA Cup at Highbury. The ball was put out of play so that an injured Sheffield United player could be treated. Arsenal’s Kanu misunderstood and did not give the ball back. Marc Overmars scored, and Arsenal won 2-1.
Arsenal’s manager, Arsène Wenger, offered a replay. Sheffield United’s manager, Steve Bruce, accepted, and the FA consented. The match was played again ten days later, on 23 February 1999. Arsenal won again, 2-1.
