FA Cup final: Garnacho, Mainoo goals gift Man United trophy

Wembley Stadium erupted in shouts and ululations as Manchester United lifted the FA Cup after defeating Manchester City in a three-goal thriller courtesy of Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.

Erik ten Hag put speculation over his future to one side by leading Manchester United to FA Cup glory with a stunning 2-1 victory over Premier League champions Manchester City at Wembley.

Man City tried to find a way back into the game in the second half, but Erling Haaland’s strike rattled the crossbar before Andre Onana twice kept out long-range efforts from Kyle Walker.

However, Onana couldn’t keep out substitute Jeremy Doku’s strike as City pulled a goal back in the 87th minute to set up a grandstand finish.

The City fans roared as seven minutes of stoppage time were announced by the fourth official. Still, it was United fans celebrating at the sound of the full-time whistle as their side held on to stop their rivals from becoming the first side to secure back-to-back league and FA Cup doubles.

FA Cup glory sees United add a second piece of silverware under Ten Hag, following up their Carabao Cup win from last season.

It also sees Man Utd put a disappointing league season behind them by sealing Europa League qualification. Still, the question remains as to whether Ten Hag will lead them into next season.
