Full-Time (Man City 2-1 Man Utd)

Manchester City are the FA Cup winners!

It's a seventh FA Cup triumph for the Citizens after overcoming neighbours Man United 2-1 in a pulsating affair at Wembley.

German skipper Ilkay Gundogan is the matchwinner on the day, becoming the fastest ever FA Cup Final goalscorer after just 15 seconds with an outstanding volley before adding to his account early in the second period.

The Red Devils had drawn level in the showpiece courtesy of a first half penalty from Bruno Fernandes following a dubious VAR decision which penalised Jack Grealish for handball, but it was to be Pep Guardiola's side's day.

Man City are now just 90 minutes away from completing a staggering treble of trophies ahead of their Champions League Final meeting with Inter next week.

Yet more history could be written in Istanbul....
 

16:45
We enter the closing stages...

Just under 10 minutes remain at Wembley as City seek to hold out for a famous FA Cup victory and United aim to stop them in their tracks.

Man United are currently priced at 12/1 In-Play to Win the Trophy.

Garnacho goes close

Man United substitute Garnacho goes agonisingly close to finding an equaliser for the Red Devils, as his curled effort flies just wide of Ortega's left hand post.

Garnacho has looked extremely bright since entering the fray, with the Argentine proving to be a dangerous outlet on United's left flank.

It remains all to play for at Wembley, as Phil Foden replaces Kevin De Bruyne for City and Wout Weghorst comes on for Jadon Sancho for United.

Gundogan denied hattrick by offside flag

Man-of-the-moment Ilkay Gundogan briefly believes he has notched an FA Cup Final hattrick after tapping home a rebound from a Haaland effort, only to be denied by the offside flag.

The Citizens will know a third goal should be enough to seal this FA Cup Final, and certainly possess the attacking firepower on the pitch to find it.

Rashford fires over

England international Marcus Rashford has a sight of goal on the edge of the box, but blasts a powerful effort just over the crossbar.

The Red Devils are still very much alive in this contest as they desperately attempt to prevent their neighbours edging closer to a stunning treble of trophies.

Just under 20 minutes remain at Wembley.

Eriksen makes way for Garnacho

Man United make the first change of this FA Cup Final with Christian Eriksen withdrawn for Argentine youngster Alejandro Garnacho.

18-year-old Garnacho will provide the Red Devils with an additional attacking threat and more pace in the final third as they seek an equaliser.

The Argentine is currently priced at 22/1 to score the match's fourth goal.

GOAL! Man City 2-1 Man Utd (Gundogan)

City strike early again! Once more it's that man Ilkay Gundogan on the scoresheet!

In what was clearly a practiced set-piece routine, Kevin De Bruyne clipped the ball from a wide position to the edge of the box, with skipper Gundogan scuffing a left footed effort underneath a despairing David De Gea in the United goal.

At first viewing it looks like questionable goalkeeping from the Spaniard, with not much pace on the Gundogan strike, although there were a number of bodies blocking the vision of United's number one.

Once again Erik ten Hag's side will have to cope with going behind in this FA Cup Final.

Can City now build on their lead or will United bounce back again?

Back underway at Wembley (Man City 1-1 Man Utd)

The second half of this historic all-Manchester FA Cup Final is underway at Wembley.

Man City are forced to go again and put what they will feel was an unjust award of a penalty to United in the first half behind them and regain control of the match, with the Red Devils desperate to spoil their neigbours' quest for the treble.

WATCH: Ilkay Gundogan - will he stay or will he go?

Now holding the status of the fastest goalscorer in FA Cup Final history, firing past David De Gea in the Man United goal after just 15 seconds, Man City captain Ilkay Gundogan's future at the Etihad Stadium is currently shrouded in uncertainty.

With the Germany international out of contract with City at the end of this campaign, there is increasing speculation the 32-year-old could be set to swap Manchester for Barcelona and join up with Xavi's La Liga-winning side.

You can watch what our experts Kelly Somers, Sam Matterface and Steve Freeth have to say about Gundogan's future in the video above.

Half-time - Man City 1-1 Man Utd

Referee Paul Tierney draws an action-packed first half of the FA Cup Final to an end, with Man United and Man City locked at 1-1.

It was City who drew first blood in this contest in dramatic fashion, with skipper Ilkay Gundogan sensationally firing home the fastest goal in FA Cup Final history after just 15 seconds.

This rapid opener looked set to prompt a one-sided affair with the United ranks looking flustered by the manner of treble-chasing City's start to the match, with Pep Guardiola's side going close to a second from a Rodri header just a matter of minutes later.

The Red Devils hung in there though, and found an unlikely equaliser via somewhat fortuitous circumstances, with Jack Grealish penalised by VAR for a handball from an Aaron Wan-Bissaka header from short distance.

Bruno Fernandes made no mistake from the spot to send United level, with this equaliser galvanising Erik ten Hag's side to enjoy a strong end to the half with renewed intensity and industry particularly in midfield areas.

This FA Cup Final therefore looks evenly poised at the break, with both sides likely to be heading into the dressing rooms at half-time full of belief that they have what it takes to get their hands on the trophy.

Man United's leveller has breathed fresh life into this FA Cup Final which is growing into an end-to-end encounter, with Erik ten Hag's Red Devils appearing to have newfound belief.

GOAL! Man City 1-1 Man Utd (Fernandes)

Well well well...

Out of nothing Man United have drawn level in the FA Cup Final!

It's Bruno Fernandes who has equalised from the spot, after a VAR check penalised City's Jack Grealish for a handball.

It seems a harsh call against the former Aston Villa man who appeared to know little about the ball striking his hand, but Man United will not be caring as their supporters are sent into raptures by Fernandes who coolly rolls the ball to Stefan Ortega's right in the City goal.

Game on at Wembley!

Record-breaker Gundogan

Man City captain Ilkay Gundogan's sensational opening goal is officially the fastest strike in FA Cup Final history, clocked at an astonishing 15 seconds.

The German's effort surpasses Louis Saha's opener for Everton against Chelsea in 2009 by a considerable distance, with the Frenchman finding the net after 25 seconds.

Prior to Saha, the previous quickest goal in the FA Cup Final was registered way back in 1895, when Bob Chatt struck for Aston Villa against West Brom.

Rodri goes close with a header

There is a large cheer from the City end who believed their side had grabbed a swift second, but Rodri's header from a De Bruyne free-kick is glanced just wide into the side netting of David de Gea's goal.

It's been an electric start from the Citizens at Wembley. United are struggling to live with the rivals at the start of this cup final.

The leaders in the United ranks, such as Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, really need to pull their troops together here and calm them down in order to restore a semblance of control in this content.

Prevailing against Newcastle in the EFL Cup Final back in February and clinching a third-place finish in the Premier League to seal a spot in next year's Champions League, it's been a solid season so far for Ten Hag in the dugout, but an FA Cup Final victory over City would make it a great one.

10 years on since Man City stunned by Wigan

This year's FA Cup Final between Man United and Man City marks a decade since the Citizens were humbled by Wigan at Wembley in one of the biggest upsets the competition has ever seen.

A City side led by Roberto Mancini and comprised of talents of the ilk of Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Yaya Toure were expected to easily dispose of a Wigan team who would be relegated from the Premier League shortly after the Final, but this was not to be the case at Wembley.

A cagey and largely uneventful match, in which City's Argentine full-back Pablo Zabaleta was sent off with just over fine minutes remaining, would be won in dramatic fashion in injury time,

Ben Watson was the player to etch his name into FA Cup Final and Wigan Athletic folklore forever, rising highest to meet a Shaun Maloney corner at the near post in the 91st minute to claim glory for the Latics.
