Man Utd 'Class of 22' win FA Youth Cup in front of record crowd - 6 talking points

Alejandro Garnacho fired Manchester United to glory in the FA Youth Cup final, as the young Red Devils beat Nottingham Forest 3-1.

The newly-crowned under-18 Player of the Year was starved of the ball for most of the evening but came up trumps by converting a controversial penalty in the 75th minute to seal United's 11 Youth Cup title. That was after Joshua Powell had equalised for Forest, profiting from a Radek Vitek howler.

The equaliser was a response to home captain Rhys Bennett opening the scoring after just 12 minutes at a sold-out Old Trafford. Garnacho grabbed his second in eight minutes of added-time, with a cruel deflection giving Aaron Bott no chance and all but handing the 'Class of 22' the trophy.
