Inside 13 seconds The fastest Cup final goal

1 Ilkay Gündogan passes back to his keeper direct from kickoff

2 Stefan Ortega’s long kick is headed away by Victor Lindelöf …

3 … but only as far as Gündogan 25 yards out.

4 The City captain quickly adjusts his feet to cut across the ball for a beautiful dipping volley that beats the motionless David de Gea and drops into the United net to give Pep Guardiola’s side the perfect start. The previous record was held by Louis Saha (right) who scored after 25 seconds for Everton in their 2009 FA Cup final defeat by Chelsea.
