Man City's FA Cup win makes treble triumph look inevitable

LONDON -- Two down, one to go. Manchester City are now 90 minutes from a historic treble.

They needed just 12 seconds of the FA Cup final against Manchester United to take a giant stride toward their place in the record books. Ilkay Gundogan's opening goal on 12 seconds, the fastest in FA Cup final history, was cancelled out by a first-half Bruno Fernandes penalty, but the City's captain's second goal -- a weak effort from outside the 18-yard box that United goalkeeper David de Gea should have saved -- was enough to see off Erik ten Hag's team for a 2-1 victory that leaves Pep Guardiola's side needing to beat Inter Milan in next Saturday's Champions League final to become only the second English team to do the treble.
