Manchester City Edge Manchester United 2-1 to Clinch 7th FA Cup Title

London: Manchester City are on the verge of a historic treble after defeating Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup final.

United equalized through a penalty by Bruno Fernandes. However, City’s captain, whose contract is expiring, scored the winning goal in the second half. Gundogan expressed the team’s excitement about the opportunity to win the treble and not let it slip away.

The match between the Manchester giants began explosively, with Gundogan netting a goal in a stunning strike within just 12 seconds. City dominated the game, while United struggled to make an impact. However, United received a penalty after Jack Grealish’s handball, which Fernandes converted successfully. There were contentious moments, including City’s denied penalty appeal and objects being thrown onto the pitch.

City took control again in the second half, with Gundogan scoring his second goal from Kevin De Bruyne’s free-kick. Although United fought back in the closing stages, they couldn’t find an equalizer.

City’s victory in the FA Cup final puts them one step closer to achieving a remarkable treble. Their next challenge is facing Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
