IIkay Gundogan's 12-second strike not only put Man City ahead in the match but the goal also took the 32-year-old to the top of the list of quickest strikes in an FA Cup final. The precise timing of the goal has been recorded at 12.91 seconds. Here's the lightning-quick strike by the Gundogan.
With this goal, he bettered the previous best, which was a 25-second strike by Louis Saha from the 2009 final between Everton and Chelsea.

The bottom line of the match was 2-1 victory to City and with this Manchester City have captured the double, having already won the Premier League.
