Manchester City were looking to do the ‘double-double’, that’s winning the league title and the FA Cup twice in a row. But United, a team that had just had their worst ever Premier League season, managed to win 2-1.
United led by two goals at half-time after Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo both managed to score. It looked like there could have been a comeback for City in the second half when Jeremy Doku scored, but they couldn’t quite do enough.
There was another local derby in the Scottish Cup Final, this time it was the Old Firm. That’s the name given to any game between Celtic and Rangers – the two biggest names in Scottish football.
This time it was Celtic that came out on top as they beat their rivals Rangers to lift the trophy - just a week after winning the league.
It was forward Adam Idah who scored the only goal of the game and fans had to wait until the 90th minute to see it go in. It is the 42nd time that Celtic have won the trophy since the tournament started way back in 1873.
