Manchester City defeated Chelsea to win the FA Cup after Antoine Semenyo scored the decisive goal in a tense final at Wembley Stadium.
The match appeared destined for extra time before Semenyo produced a moment of quality in the closing stages to hand City another major trophy under Pep Guardiola.
Semenyo strike decides final
After a cagey contest with few clear opportunities, City finally broke through with 16 minutes remaining.
Erling Haaland delivered a cross into the penalty area and Semenyo met it first time with a clever right-foot finish that beat Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez.
The goal proved enough to settle the final and complete another successful domestic campaign for City.
Haaland endured a frustrating afternoon in front of goal but played a key role in the winning moment after working tirelessly throughout the match.
City add another trophy
The victory means Manchester City have now completed a domestic cup double after previously winning the Carabao Cup earlier in the season.
It also ended a run of consecutive FA Cup final defeats following losses to Manchester United and Crystal Palace in recent years.
Guardiola’s side remain in contention for further silverware as they continue battling in the Premier League title race.
Chelsea’s Wembley struggles continue
For Chelsea, the defeat extended a painful record at Wembley after losing a fourth straight FA Cup final.
The London side struggled to create sustained attacking pressure and ultimately finished the season without a trophy despite reaching another major final.
Interim manager Calum McFarlane now faces fresh uncertainty over the club’s direction ahead of the summer, with Chelsea still searching for a permanent manager for next season.
