  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    77. Walker forces Onana into another save, this time with a low drive.

    The United goalkeeper does well to block, but pushes the ball back into the penalty area.

    Before Haaland can act, however, the striker is flagged offside.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    75. Quarter of an hour remains at Wembley...

    ...unless City can somehow force extra-time.

    Are Pep Guardiola's team running out of ideas? It's very much give the ball to Doku and hope at the moment.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd - Man Utd substitutions

    73. Jonny Evans and Rasmus Hojlund finally make it on with Lisandro Martinez and Marcus Rashford taking a well-earned rest.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    72. Man Utd are going to make their changes now, and Lisandro Martinez will take his leave.

    However, City captain Kyle Walker believes the United defender isn't taking it quick enough, and reacts furiously.

    The pair clash and go chest-to-chest with plenty of chat and finger pointing to boot.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    70. Here's an FA Cup Final throwback.

    Lisandro Martinez has gone down with cramp. You don't see that much these days unless players are trying to waste time.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    68. Garnacho tests Ortega with a drive towards the near post.

    City's stand-in goalie keeps it out although perhaps with less certainty than he should have.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    66. Manchester United's coaching staff are busy in the dugout and preparing changes, one of which was due to involve Jonny Evans on for Lisandro Martinez.

    However, Martinez has determinedly told the bench that he does not want to come off and is fit enough to play on.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    64. Alvarez in on goal again...

    ...and again he passes up the opportunity.

    Neat build-up play from City unlocks the United defence, only for the Argentine to sidefoot wide - and well wide, it has to be said - when confronted with only Onana.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    62. Manchester United are dropping deeper and deeper and deeper.

    And they were pretty deep to begin with.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    61. Chance for Alvarez! Over!

    City's latest substitute blasts over in a hurry after a loose defensive touch just inside the area had presented him with a big opportunity.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    59. Walker from long range! Great save by Onana!

    The Manchester City captain takes matters into his own hands - or onto his own right foot - with a fierce 30-yard drive, but it's one met by the incredibly strong left hand of the Manchester United goalkeeper.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd - Man City substitution

    56. A third change for Manchester City, and it's the most surprising so far.

    Kevin De Bruyne has been hauled off by his manager, and on in the Belgian's place is Julian Alvarez.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    54. Haaland hits the crossbar!

    It's the first time today that the City striker has had sight of goal, and he goes agonisingly close to halving the deficit.

    Again, Doku is the catalyst, crossing low from the left, and Haaland responds with a first time strike back across goal and on to the underside of the woodwork.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    52. You know things aren't going to plan when ever Phil Foden is fluffing his lines.

    Substitute Jeremy Doku drives into the box and crosses to the Premier League Player of the Year, who completely miskicks with his weaker right foot.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    52. Now Rodri is required to deter McTominay inside the box.

    "I'd go as far to say City have been poor," remarks Ally McCoist.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    50. United have been excellent since taking the lead in fortuitous circumstances, and almost open City up in super style again.

    Wan-Bissaka's pass, Fernandes' side-step and tackle, Rashford's run.

    Only a timely interception by Stones stops the Red Devils in their tracks.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    48. Rashford sneaks in behind the City defence, but he is unable to bring down Dalot's raking pass with one touch.

    Still, it's a little glimpse of the threat United will carry on the counter.

  • Kick-off - Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    46. Pep Guardiola has wasted no time in making changes.

    As United begin the second half two goals to the good, City have introduced Jeremy Doku and Manuel Akanji for Mateo Kovacic and Nathan Ake.

    It's ten years since Arsenal came back from 2-0 down to beat Hull in the FA Cup Final. City will need to produce something similar if they are to complete the double.

  • First half facts and figures

    City have bossed the ball, prevailed with the passing, but have had just one attempt on target.

  • Half-time - Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    There goes the half-time whistle!

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd - Mainoo yellow card

    45. Scorer of the second United goal, Kobbie Mainoo is now the first player to be cautioned in the cup final.

    Referee Andy Madley takes exception to the midfielder's sliding challenge on Kevin De Bruyne.

    Meanwhile, there will be two minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the first half.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    43. City are pouring forward - desperately - trying to find a way back into the game before half-time.

    De Bruyne looks for Haaland, but in his eagerness goes too long with the through ball.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    41. For the first time today, Pep Guardiola looks rattled.

    The City head coach is not happy with how much room Marcus Rashford has been gifted in the first half.

  • Man City 0-2 Man Utd

    39. Unbelievable!

    Kobbie Mainoo doubles Manchester United's lead, and if the first goal was slapstick then this is sheer class!

    Bruno Fernandes starts the move in his own half, progressing the ball forward to Mainoo, and then on to Marcus Rashford.

    The forward takes over on the near touchline, switching play out to Alejandro Garnacho on the right with a beautiful crossfield pass.

    The Argentine then attacks Josko Gvardiol before cutting back to Fernandes, who executes the pass of the season - no-look, no less - by laying it into the path of Mainoo.

    The teenager gleefully sidefoots beyond Ortega to set off an explosion of red around Wembley.

    City are stunned! United are in dreamland!

  • It's two!
