Video: Garnacho capitalises on horror City defensive mistake to draw first blood in FA Cup final

Manchester United lead 1-0 Manchester City in the 30th minute of the FA Cup final courtesy of Alejandro Garnacho. 

Diogo Dalot played a sensational pass across the field to his Argentinian teammate, who did well to hold his run and keep onside before pursuing the ball.

From then on, it was a passage of play that Pep Guardiola won’t want to be watching back anytime soon.

Complete miscommunication from Josko Gvardiol and goalkeeper Stefan Ortega led to the defender heading it over Ortega, with Garnacho then able to pounce on a free chance and tap the ball into an empty net, breaking the deadlock after half an hour.

What a mix-up between Gvardiol and Ortega! 😬
