Overview
- Manchester City's U18s beat Manchester United 2-1 on Thursday after Reigan Heskey's 87th minute strike decided the FA Youth Cup final.
- Floyd Samba put City ahead with a 25-yard free-kick before Godwill Kukonki headed United level less than a minute later.
- The final was played at City's 7,000-capacity Joie Stadium because the Etihad was unavailable due to construction, drawing complaints from United fans after an offer to use Old Trafford was turned down and an away allocation of about 1,000 was set.
- TNT Sports 1 and HBO Max showed the match live, with a free stream on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport site under an agreement that used TNT’s broadcast feed.
- City claimed their fifth FA Youth Cup and completed a regional league-and-cup double, and they now visit Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the national U18 title decider next week.
