Ilkay Gundogan breaks FA Cup record as Man City star scores fastest final goal to stun Man United after 13 SECONDS

Ilkay Gundogan stung rivals Manchester United within seconds in the FA Cup final with the competition's fastest-ever goal.

The German international hit a stinging volley past David De Gea with only 13 seconds on the clock at Wembley. The strike from outside the area has officially broken the record as the earliest goal scored in the competition. The pair of Manchester heavyweights go toe-to-toe in the final for the first time in history with United losing a goal in the first minute.

Erik Ten Hag's men are looking to stop Pep Guardiola's from securing a treble with City still to play the Champions League final after winning the Premier League from Arsenal's grasp.

The previous record holder was ex-United forward Louis Saha, who netted after just 25 seconds in the FA Cup final in 2009 with Chelsea eventually winning the trophy against Everton. Roberto Di Matteo also scored after 43 seconds against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup final of 1997 for Chelsea.

Rangers icon Ally McCoist was one of the ITV commentary panel who couldn't believe the strike managed to hit the net after such a short period of time.
