Manchester United stuns Manchester City in the English FA Cup final: Young players create history at Wembley Stadium.
In soccer, a week can make a huge difference. Last Sunday, Manchester City clinched their fourth straight Premier League championship and prepared to add another trophy to their collection at Wembley.
Going into the match, there was a feeling of certainty about the outcome - Manchester United had lost six out of their last seven matches against City, and three of their last five finals, while City had been on top of their game once again this season.
However, United struck twice in quick succession during the first half - both goals scored by teenagers Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo. These young scorers made history by becoming the first men's FA Cup final with two teenage goalscorers.
This story is still unfolding and will be updated.
