Man United building something special under Erik ten Hag, says Bruno Fernandes

Ilkay Gundogan’s jaw-dropping double fired treble-chasing Manchester City to an unforgettable FA Cup final win against rivals Manchester United.

City emerged triumphant thanks to Gundogan’s fine volleys in a 2-1 victory that gives Pep Guardiola’s men the chance to emulate United’s 1999 treble heroics next weekend.

Victory in arguably the biggest Manchester derby of all time now means City can win the treble in next weekend’s Champions League final against Inter Milan.

As for United, this was a galling end to a promising first season under Erik ten Hag. They hit the woodwork in stoppage time, but a second equaliser was beyond them.

Victor Lindelof struck by object thrown from crowd in FA Cup final

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof was struck by an object thrown from the crowd celebrating his team’s equaliser against Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

Lindelof was hit as the Manchester United players celebrated in front of the Manchester City supporters following a controversial penalty, which was scored by Bruno Fernandes.

The object, which appeared to be a lighter, was thrown from the end where the Manchester City fans were sitting and hit Lindelof near his left eye.

Ilkay Gundogan breaks record for fastest-ever goal in an FA Cup final

Ilkay Gundogan’s fantastic volley at Wembley put Manchester City ahead against rivals Manchester United - and made history in the process as the fastest-ever goal in an FA Cup final.

The German midfielder ran onto an attempted header clear and thundered a dipping strike into the top corner past David de Gea, with just 12 seconds on the clock - taking more than that amount of time again off the previous record.

Back in 2009, Louis Saha scored after only 25 seconds, on that occasion playing for Everton in an eventual 2-1 defeat to Chelsea. After that goal, Roberto Di Matteo’s goal after 43 seconds for Chelsea against Middlesbrough in 1997 is now third-fastest.

45+4 mins: Fred hounds Kyle Walker deep in City’s final third and won’t go away despite being outmatched by Walker’s strength. The ball comes loose and Rashford looks to shoot but is dispossessed by Ruben Dias before getting an effort away.

At the other end of the pitch Jack Grealish is cleaned out by a lunging tackle from Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The contact is minimal but Wan-Bissaka is shown the first yellow card of the game.

The whistle goes for half-time and the match is all square.
