Manchester City win FA Cup final after beating Chelsea at Wembley

Antoine Semenyo’s 72nd-minute back-heel gave City their eighth FA Cup title and kept Pep Guardiola’s team in the hunt for a domestic treble.

  • At Wembley Stadium, Manchester City defeated Chelsea 1-0 in the 145th FA Cup final, with forward Antoine Semenyo scoring the decisive goal in the second half for manager Pep Guardiola's team.
  • In the 72nd minute, Semenyo broke the deadlock with a brilliant finish after latching onto a pass from forward Erling Haaland, diverting the ball across goalkeeper Robert Sanchez into the corner.
  • Both sides missed key chances throughout the match; interim manager Calum McFarlane saw Enzo Fernandez flick inches over, while Sanchez saved from Haaland and Matheus Nunes hit the post for City.
  • Completing a domestic cup double following their League Cup victory in March, Guardiola clinched his 20th trophy for City, keeping the club in the hunt for a domestic trophy treble.
  • Attention now turns to the Premier League title race, where City sits two points behind Arsenal with two rounds remaining before travelling to Bournemouth on Tuesday.
