Man City record-breaker Gundogan full of pride after 2-goal FA Cup final performance

Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan was full of pride after his record-breaking performance in their FA Cup final triumph over Manchester United.

Gundogan struck both of City's goals for the 2-1 win, with Bruno Fernandes finding an equaliser for United before halftime.

City's captain secured his place in history with the quickest goal in FA Cup final history, a stunning volley after only 12 seconds eclipsing Louis Saha's strike for Everton after 25 seconds against Chelsea in 2009.

Gundogan said: "To win a final is always special. Every trophy is special. This group deserves it. We played really well, second half was amazing and we deserved to lift another trophy.

"Obviously we know how we want to play the kick off and we aim to do that, to go long for Erling and try to get a second ball. It just placed amazingly for me and I just had to hit it. Obviously it was a quite good strike."

On his future, he added: "I don't need these kind of days to feel appreciated and feel special in this club. I know that and that is why I have been here seven years. Nothing is decided yet, we will see what will happen."
