Manchester City remain on course for the Treble after Ilkay Gundogan scored twice to give them victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Having already won the Premier League title, City now go into next Saturday’s Champions League final against Inter Milan in Istanbul with the opportunity to emulate United’s feat of 1999.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And City captain Gundogan was the big game match-winner again, assuring his place in history with the quickest goal in FA Cup final history, a stunning volley after only 12 seconds eclipsing Louis Saha’s strike for Everton after 25 seconds against Chelsea in 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester United equalised after 33 minutes when the video assistant referee ruled that Jack Grealish had handled, Bruno Fernandes coolly sending Stefan Ortega the wrong way from the spot. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was Gundogan, as he does so often, who made the decisive contribution when he volleyed Kevin de Bruyne’s free-kick past United keeper David de Gea six minutes after the break to give City the FA Cup for the seventh time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Man City on brink of greatness <\/h3>\n

Manchester City stand just 90 minutes away from the greatest season in their history.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the league and FA Cup secured, next comes the chance to claim that elusive Champions League against Inter Milan. <\/span><\/p>\n

Should they succeed, they would become only the second English club to complete the Treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.<\/span><\/p>\n

United, who did it 24 years ago, did their best to halt City’s bid, but the league champions had too much power – and in Gundogan, they had a player who revels in the pressure of the big occasion. <\/span><\/p>\n

His two goals, including that stunning early opener, emphasised what a figure of significance he has become, assuring him of a special place when the story of City’s glory years is written. <\/span><\/p>\n

And in John Stones, City have a player of the highest class in his latest role defined by Guardiola, one which allows him to advance into midfield and utilise all his composure and quality. <\/span><\/p>\n

Istanbul and Inter Milan are next on City’s agenda and in their current relentless, irresistible mood, it would be more of a surprise if they did not complete the Treble than if they did. <\/span><\/p>\n
