    It was a game of fine margins and in the end it was down to that bit of brilliance from Reigan Heskey.

    This is where it begins now for them, in under-18s football, to move on to the professional game and see how far they can go.

    Manchester City's players head up to the podium to collect their winners' medals.

    Captain Kaden Braithwaite carries the trophy over to his team-mates and lifts it high into the Manchester sky as the fireworks go off and music blasts.

    A fifth triumph for Manchester City and just what will become of these players? We'll see.

    Pep Guardiola has hung around to watch the trophy presentation.

    Who will have impressed him this evening?

    I think you're going to see a lot of stars from both these teams. There's so much potential here in both sides.

    But the glory this evening belongs to Manchester City.

    We know plenty of players who have played in this match over the years go on to become huge stars.

    Who out of tonight's line-up will go on to light things up at the top?

    Manchester United have some good young players.

    Tonight, none of them have produced anything remotely close to what they are capable of in an attacking sense.

    I think on the balance of play on the 90 minutes Manchester City do deserve it. Cup football is all about the final result and these times as a player are the ones you need to enjoy.

    FT: Man City 2-1 Man Utd

    It was heartache last year for Manchester City in the FA Youth Cup final but they've managed to regain the trophy after success in 2024.

    Elation from the Manchester City players, who, quite amusingly, are still cramping up while celebrating.

    A huge block in the final moments of this match.

    Chido Obi is denied virtually off the line.

    Dante Plunkett whips one in and Max Hudson gathers. That is surely that.

    We're now into the sixth of four added minutes.

    Now or never for Manchester United.

    Cramp all over the shop here. The ball has barely been in play for the last five minutes.

    Jake Wain is the latest to go down clutching his leg.

    Floyd Samba looks like he's struggling with cramp. He's only got a minute or so to hang on.

    A big opportunity for Manchester United in the final minutes of this one.

    James Overy's glancing header is just wide. Could be a case of too little, too late this.

    We're into four added minutes as Albert Mills is booked for a foul on Manchester City goalkeeper Max Hudson.

    Teddie Lamb was also booked earlier, in the aftermath of City's goal, for inciting the crowd.

    Manchester United finished second to Manchester City in the Premier League Under-18 North.

    They were beaten by Crystal Palace on penalties in the Premier League Under-18 Cup final.

    Now it looks like they will be beaten in the FA Youth Cup final.

    So near, yet so far from the boys from Old Trafford.

    Big smiles from Emile Heskey in the stands.

    Has his son just ensured the trophy returns to Manchester City after they won it in 2024 but finished runners-up last year?
