MAN CITY DEFEATS MANCHESTER UNITED IN THE FA CUP FINAL TO ADVANCE TOWARD TREBLE.

just defeating Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup final on Saturday, with the first of Ilkay Gundogan’s two goals arriving just a record 13 seconds, Manchester City’s quest to achieve a treble of major trophies continued.

The only thing standing between Pep Guardiola’s squad and footballing infamy in England right now is a first-ever Champions League championship, with City having already defended their Premier League crown.

The fastest goal in an FA Cup final was scored by City captain Gundogan, clocked by British broadcaster BBC in 12.91 seconds. However, United midfielder Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty against the odds in the 33rd minute after Jack Grealish was found to have handled the ball.

Gundogan’s winning goal in the 51st minute, which he scored after Kevin De Bruyne’s cross from a free kick was met with a left-foot volley that bobbled between two United players and past goalkeeper David De Gea, may be one of his scrappiest efforts.

With their 2-1 victory over Man United in the FA Cup final, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City moved one step closer to an illustrious European treble. Check out these images for a deeper look at the highs and lows of this thrilling summit confrontation.

A Manchester Derby was included in the FA Cup final for the first time ever. City needed to win in order for their triple ambitions to survive (which they did, and they still do).
