After shocking reigning champion Manchester City 2-1 in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday, Manchester United emerged victorious.
With United's first trophy of the year, crosstown rival City were denied the opportunity to win the English league and cup twice in a row. Next season, United will also secure a spot in the Europa League.
The final was a rematch of the one City won 2-1 the year before, and Pep Guardiola's squad refused to give up the prize easily.
Alejandro Garnacho scored the first goal in the thirty-first minute, following errors by goalkeeper Stefan Ortega and City defender Josko Gvardiol.
Manager Erik ten Hag, whose position was under scrutiny heading into the final, was ecstatic when Kobbie Mainoo added a second goal in the 39th.
United led 1-0 at the break, but City increased their pressure in the second half and ultimately tied the score in the 87th minute with a long-range effort into the bottom corner by replacement Jeremy Doku.
By then, Erling Haaland had struck the crossbar, Kyle Walker had made two tremendous saves from goalie Andre Onana, and replacement Julian Alvarez had missed the mark at close range with just the keeper to beat.
United have won 13 FA Cups overall, one fewer than Arsenal's record of 14. And after winning the League Cup the previous year, this is Ten Hag's second trophy from the club in as many years.
After the final whistle, the Dutchman was greeted by players and staff on the pitch, capping off a difficult campaign on a positive note.
The British millionaire Jim Ratcliffe and the American co-owners Joel and Avram Glazer were in attendance at United.
Ten Hag had managed United's poorest league season in thirty-four years; therefore, speculation about his future dominated the build-up, and it was widely assumed he would lose his job regardless of the outcome.
For City, it was an entirely different story. Having just been the first English team to win four straight titles, they were hoping to create fresh history by winning back-to-back doubles. The FA Cup will not be part of City's parade in Manchester on Monday to commemorate their historic league victory.
Although United presented the more dangerous assaults and took the lead via Garnacho, City controlled possession for most of the first half.
Deep in his own half, the Argentine winger chased onto a hopeful ball from Diogo Dalot, causing panic in City's defenders. Though Gvardiol reached the ball first, his header passed Ortega, the charging City goalkeeper, and found Garnacho with an open goal to tap in.
If the first goal was fortunate, United's second was the result of a brilliant assault, led by Garnacho, who again played a key role by cutting in from the right side and setting up Bruno Fernandes.
With a first-time no-look ball from the United skipper, Mainoo coolly tapped past Ortega.
