Ilkay Gundogan scored the fastest opener in FA Cup history but it was not enough for him. The German made it two in the 51st minute of the final against Manchester United to put his side into a dominant position.

Manchester City are looking to take another step towards their historic treble and Manchester United are trying to defend the honour that only they hold in English football.

The first half of the showdown between the two Manchester giants ended 1-1 due to a goal netted by Bruno Fernandes from the penalty spot. But things turned around when Ilkay Gundogan scored his second goal of the match.

The German took 16 seconds to score the opener and became the fastest scorer in FA Cup history but wanted to give his team the lead once again. Kevin De Bruyne took a free-kick and the German shot from the edge of the box to make it two in the 51st minute.

If City hold onto their lead, Inter Milan in Istanbul will be the only thing standing between them and the treble.
