Manchester City-Manchester United: Gündogan in history, De Gea (slightly) guilty

Tops

Twelve seconds. Twelve seconds. This Saturday afternoon, at Wembley, in the FA Cup final, Ilkay Gündogan launched his team perfectly by opening the scoring in the wake of kick-off. And how ! On an aerial ball cleared from the head by Vincent Lindelöf, the German, positioned near the penalty area, unleashed, without the slightest hesitation, a volley which came to lodge in the nets of David de Gea. Quite simply the fastest goal in FA Cup finals history! The 32-year-old midfielder didn't stop there as he restored his team's lead after the break...on a new volley, with his left foot this time. Quite simply, a historic match (51st).

In Manchester City, it is not the one we talk about the most. However, its role is essential. And he proved it again this Saturday afternoon. Once again established in the midfield, John Stones has perfectly balanced the tactical device of the Citizens, by his physical qualities but also - and above all - by his science of placement. He was also essential in reviving his team, often providing a solution between the lines. An excellent match!

Flops

If he could not do anything on the wonderful inspiration of Ilkay Gündogan after only twelve seconds of play, David de Gea however appears (slightly) responsible on the second goal of the German, just after the return from the locker room. Indeed, given the low power of the 32-year-old midfielder's left-footed volley, the Spanish goalkeeper should have - especially given his level - been able to save his team (51st). ..In his defense, he was visibly hampered by several players.

He may be sorry. In an aerial duel with Aaron Wan-Bissaka in his own penalty area, Jack Grealish made a handball (at close range), no doubt (a little) involuntary but very real. A gesture sanctioned by the referee of the meeting, after viewing the video. Bruno Fernandes did not need to be asked and transformed this penalty - which some will consider severe -, with a small flat foot, allowing his team to equalize (33rd).
