Antoine Semenyo scored the decisive goal in the 72nd minute with an improvised backheel finish from Erling Haaland’s cross. The victory secured City’s eighth FA Cup title and marked another milestone under Pep Guardiola’s side.
London: Manchester City FC lifted the FA Cup on Saturday with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Chelsea FC in the final, as Antoine Semenyo scored a brilliantly improvised goal in the 72nd minute to seal an English domestic cup double.
The Ghana forward expertly turned and flicked the ball past Robert Sanchez with a clever backheel finish after being picked out by a precise cross from Erling Haaland.
The goal transformed what had largely been a cautious contest, with both sides creating chances in the closing 20 minutes. Rayan Cherki forced an excellent save from Robert Sanchez, while teammate Matheus Nunes struck the post as Manchester City F.C. pushed for a second goal.
The triumph marked Manchester City FC's eighth FA Cup title and completed a domestic cup double following their League Cup triumph in March. After League Cup success earlier in the campaign, this is only the sixth time in English football history that a team has won both domestic cup competitions.
