Manchester City locked horns with Manchester United at Wembley Stadium earlier today as they looked to secure a positive result in the FA Cup final. Pep Guardiola‘s men made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 30th minute when Alejandro Garnacho found the back of the net. Kobbie Mainoo got his name on the scoresheet as well just nine minutes later as Man City went into the half-time break 2-0 down on the scoreline.
