Twitter Reacts As Manchester City Defeat Man Utd in FA Cup Final

Football fans took to Twitter to express their thoughts as Manchester City defeated Manchester United 2-1 in an intense FA Cup final at Wembley, adding another trophy to their collection.

In an eagerly awaited all-Manchester clash, City showcased their strength by securing a hard-fought win, setting the stage for their upcoming Champions League final against Inter.

The match began with an unexpected twist on the team sheets, as United surprisingly handed a debut to young midfielder ‘Casemino’ instead of a veteran Brazilian player with a strikingly similar name. Twitter users couldn’t help but notice the amusing graphic error.

The game wasted no time in delivering excitement as Ilkay Gundogan unleashed a thunderous volley from the centre spot just 12 seconds after kickoff, setting a new record for the fastest goal in FA Cup final history.

City’s momentum was briefly halted when Casemiro, a late replacement for Casemino, committed a high challenge on Manuel Akanji, leading to a VAR check and a controversial free-kick awarded to United.

VAR played its part once again as a handball incident involving Jack Grealish was scrutinized, eventually resulting in a penalty for United, coolly converted by Bruno Fernandes.

Despite United’s satisfaction heading into halftime, the second half began on a sour note as Gundogan struck again, this time with a less elegant but effective volley that found the bottom corner, leaving United fans frustrated.

Gundogan’s pursuit of a hat-trick was thwarted by an offside decision, and Alejandro Garnacho came close to scoring with a superb curling effort that narrowly missed the target.

In an attempt to overturn the result, United introduced Wout Weghorst off the bench, but the move was met with mixed reactions from supporters.

Late drama unfolded as Raphael Varane and Scott McTominay nearly salvaged an equalizer, only to be denied by the crossbar.
