Golden glove winner, De Gea was left stranded at the post as he watched the ball sail into the net.
As Manchester City pursue their first-ever treble, they now face formidable opponents in Manchester United and Inter Milan after securing the Premier League title.
The Red Devils found their footing in the game after 42 minutes, with Jack Grealish's mishandling of the ball in the box resulting in a penalty, which was expertly converted by Bruno Fernandes, deceiving goalkeeper Ortega with a perfectly placed shot.

After the halftime break, Gundogan once again showcased his brilliance, delivering a second volley, this time with his weaker foot, as he found the bottom corner of the net, eluding the outstretched hand of De Gea.
Maintaining a scoreline of 2-1, Manchester City displayed exceptional game management, leaving no room for errors in their defensive box.
Man City have now won the FA Cup 7 times in the club's history, the second under Pep Guardiola.
Now, all eyes are set on Istanbul, as Pep Guardiola's Manchester City aims to complete their treble charge on June 10th.
