David Beckham and son Brooklyn go from despair to joy (and back again!) as Man Utd equalize after Manchester City’s epic 12 SECOND opener in the FA Cup final at Wembley
David Beckham and son Brooklyn showed very dismal numbers after Manchester City scored within the first 12 seconds of the Emirates FA Cup final against Man Utd on Saturday.
However, the football ace’s initial desperation soon turned to joy as his former club equalized in the 33rd minute of the closely fought match at London’s Wembley Stadium.
David, 48, jumped out of his seat and cheered the air after Bruno Fernandes’ goal, while Brooklyn, 24, cheered beside him.
But unfortunately the pair’s joy was short lived as the second half brought another Gundogan blast to make it 2-1.
The father of four, whose professional football career started at just 17 years old with Manchester United, dressed up to cheer on his old team at the stadium.

The pair were joined by David’s youngest son Cruz, 18, who echoed his father’s and brother’s style in smart clothes.
While in the stands, David was also greeted by Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak, who shook his hand as he passed.
David wasn’t the only well-known figure in the crowd watching the Manchester Derby.
Prince William, the FA’s current president, was also on hand to witness the proceedings.
The future king joined in the excitement at the FA Cup final – as he belted out the national anthem alongside an excited crowd.
Ilkay Gundogan relentlessly set the pace and blasted a stunning volley into the back of the net that Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea could do little about.
Head in hand, Beckham looked stunned by the electric pace as the 32-year-old German opened the scoring.

City fans went wild for the incredible start – they celebrated with ‘the Poznań’, bouncing together in the stands as their team progressed.
However, Bruno Fernandes equalized from the penalty spot for United after a controversial handball decision over Jack Grealish.
Utd’s joy was short-lived, however, as City quickly regained the lead thanks to Ilkay Gundogan’s second goal in the 51st minute.
If City can emerge victorious on Saturday, they then travel to Istanbul to face Inter Milan in the Champions League final the following weekend as they aim to become the first and only side since United in 1998-99 who wins a Treble.
