They needed just 12 seconds of the FA Cup final against Manchester United to take a giant stride toward their place in the record books. Ilkay Gundogan's opening goal on 12 seconds, the fastest in FA Cup final history, was cancelled out by a first-half Bruno Fernandes penalty, but the City's captain's second goal -- a weak effort from outside the 18-yard box that United goalkeeper David de Gea should have saved -- was enough to see off Erik ten Hag's team for a 2-1 victory that leaves Pep Guardiola's side needing to beat Inter Milan in next Saturday's Champions League final to become only the second English team to do the treble.
The first? United, back in 1999. Despite the challenge -- the necessity -- to be a roadblock in City's path to matching their unique achievement, the red side of Manchester failed to secure their predecessors' glorious legacy.
