David Beckham and son Brooklyn cut very glum figures after Manchester City scored within the first 12 seconds during the Emirates FA Cup final against Man Utd on Saturday.
However, the football ace’s initial despair soon turned to delight when his former club equalised at the 33rd minute during the closely fought match at London’s Wembley Stadium.
David, 48, was seen jumping out of his chair and punching the air with joy following Bruno Fernandes‘ goal, while Brooklyn, 24, cheered next to him.
But sadly the pair’s joy was short-lived, as the second half brought yet another Gundogan stunner, putting the score at 2-1.
The father-of-four, whose professional footballing career started at Manchester United aged just 17, dressed up to support his old team at the stadium.

City fans went wild for the incredible start – celebrating with ‘the Poznań’ where they bounced together in the stands as their team drew ahead.
However, Bruno Fernandes equalised from the penalty spot for United after a controversial handball decision on Jack Grealish.
Utd’s joy was short-lived however as City were soon back in the lead once again 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 next weekend as they aim to become the first and only side since United in 1998-99 to win a Treble.
