Rooney's goal basically shattered Stoke City's dream of winning the championship.
Stoke's players didn't give up on attacking. They were fighting for glory.
At the beginning of the game, they put down the iron bucket array and stuck to it. They were afraid before they fought. They lost face very much. Now they want to pick up the lost face. Even if they can't win the championship, they also want to keep a reputation of glory even though they are defeated.
However, the weak do not have the ability to control their own destiny. Stoke City hopes to keep a reputation of being defeated and proud, but how can Manchester United, who were suffocated by them for 100 minutes, let them do so. It's so easy for Stoke City to climb out of the tortoise shell. Of course, they have to chase and fight hard to get so angry.
In the 23rd minute of extra time, Manchester United steals from the back, Scholes passes a long pass, and after Gao Xiaodong and Giggs cooperate in the front of the restricted area, Giggs gives Gao Xiaodong a straight plug. Gao Xiaodong returns to Berbatov after entering the restricted area. Berbatov pushes with his right foot on the line of the restricted area, but Sorensen tries to save but fails to touch it. The ball flies into the net close to the post.
3: 0
Berbatov expanded the score again.
After the goal, Berbatov was very happy. He ignored Gao Xiaodong who helped him and ran to the stands with his arms raised.
The stands have become a sea of joy, Manchester United fans cheering at Berbatov, to vent their excitement.
After Berbatov scored the third goal, the hearts of Manchester United's players are no longer on the field. They are all anxiously waiting for the end of the game and winning the FA Cup trophy, which is seven years away.
Seeing that Manchester United slowed down their attack, stoke thought they could take advantage of the opportunity and pull back the ball, so they continued to attack Manchester United's penalty area.
However, Stoke City's idea is still wrong, even absent-minded Manchester United is not Stoke City can resist.
Stoke stormed around Manchester United's penalty area for almost three minutes, but they didn't form a good shot chance under Manchester United's tight defense.
In the 20th minute of extra time, Manchester United got another chance to fight back. Giggs's right curve ball passed to the far end, Rooney's left curve ball passed with his right foot, and Berbatov's unmarked restricted area shot with a golden hook upside down. The ball hit the post of the goal and missed the chance to break.
The ball didn't bounce far and fell in front of Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong made an effort to shoot. When he saw the opponent blocking, Gao Xiaodong blundered a shot, moved the ball horizontally and passed it to Giggs.
Veteran Giggs smiles at goalkeeper Sorensen, who blocks the near corner, and pushes a curved ball from the arch of his foot to the far corner of the goal.
Stoke City Gate has blocked Sorensen's to the near corner, but he can't do anything to the far corner. However, out of responsibility, Sorensen moved at the fastest speed and made a save.
So Sorensen has been very fast, unfortunately, Giggs's curve ball is too tricky, Sorensen did his best not to touch the ball.
4: 0
Giggs's stoppage time adds to Manchester United's success.
Giggs will soon retire, did not expect at this time can also score in the FA Cup final, he is very excited.
Running to Gao Xiaodong, Giggs gave Gao Xiaodong a hug, "thank you". Giggs was very moved.
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "this is your good running position. I have to pass it."
Giggs was happy. "Good job. Seeing me and passing the ball at that time is not something ordinary people can do
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "don't praise me. I'm easy to be proud."
When they were joking, Manchester United's players also came and surrounded Giggs and Gao Xiaodong.
There is no suspense and significance in the game. Although stoke want to pull back one and save some face, Manchester United not only didn't give them the chance, but also made it worse.
After Giggs scored, 30 minutes of extra time had passed. The referee didn't give stoke another chance to attack. He blew the whistle of the end of the game.
"Champion! We are champions! We are the Great Red Devils

The opposite of Manchester United is stoke.
Although the strength is far from Manchester United, Stoke City people did not want to win. They caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United in the first 100 minutes. If Gao Xiaodong did not break the deadlock, maybe Stoke City could really create a miracle like Birmingham.Stoke's players are sitting on the pitch in frustration, Stoke's fans are leaving, they are not willing, but helpless, inferior, can only accept such a result.
The commentator comforted: "there are no losers in today's game. Although Stoke City has lost four goals, they can leave the stadium with their heads held high.

When the players and fans were celebrating madly, the podium had been set up. Under the leadership of the staff, the Manchester United players stood on both sides of the podium, waiting for the runner up Stoke City to receive the prize.
After Stoke's players received silver medals, Manchester United's players and coaches stepped onto the podium and began to accept Prince William's award.
After the gold medal, Prince William and the president of the FA took the championship trophy together and handed it to today's captain Vidic.
Vidic, surrounded by the players, raised the cup high, and at the same time, the salute went on. The song of "we are champions" sounded, and the golden scraps of paper were flying all over the sky. The whole stadium was like a holy rainbow.
After that, the players raised the trophies one after another to celebrate with the fans.
Originally, the club was going to march around the city, but because the next two trophies will be contested, Ferguson does not want to celebrate in a big way, which will affect the rest of the players.
