Victor Lindelof hit in face by missile as Man Utd celebrate FA Cup final equaliser

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof was hit by an object thrown from the crowd while celebrating his side's equaliser in the FA Cup final.

Ilkay Gundogan put Manchester City ahead after just 13 seconds with a stunning volley, the fastest ever FA Cup final goal. However, United found a way back into the match when Jack Grealish was penalised for a handball in the penalty box, with referee Paul Tierney awarding a spot kick after being told to check the incident by VAR.

Bruno Fernandes ultimately scored the penalty, sending City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega the wrong way. And as United celebrated the goal, a missile was thrown from the crowd which hit Lindelof in the face.
