LONDON — Manchester City moved to within one victory of completing a momentous treble as they deservedly beat arch-rivals Manchester United 2-1 in the Football Association Challenge (FA) Cup final thanks to Ilkay Gundogan's record-breaking double on Saturday (June 3).
City captain Gundogan scored the fastest goal in FA Cup final history with a stunning volley after 12 seconds and struck what proved to be the winner seven minutes after halftime.
"Now we can talk about the treble," Guardiola, who has won 11 trophies since arriving at City in 2016, said. Keeper Stefan Ortega's long punt towards Erling Haaland and the ball bounced into the path of Gundogan who did not hesitate to send a dipping right-foot volley arcing over a transfixed David de Gea.
Rodri and Jack Grealish both failed to convert good chances in the opening five minutes in which United barely touched the ball while Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne also went close for City before United were handed an unexpected gift. Briefly United looked at City's match and Raphael Varane volleyed over from a corner as halftime approached.
