Manchester City secured the FA Cup title after edging Chelsea 1–0 in a tense final at Wembley Stadium, keeping alive their hopes of ending the season with multiple trophies.
The decisive moment came in the second half when Antoine Semenyo produced a brilliant back-heel finish from an Erling Haaland cross to hand Pep Guardiola’s side victory.
The triumph handed City their eighth FA Cup title and a second domestic trophy of the season following their League Cup success earlier in the campaign.
The victory also ended Manchester City’s run of back-to-back defeats in previous FA Cup finals and marked another milestone in Guardiola’s successful spell at the club.
City now shifts attention back to the Premier League title race as they continue their pursuit of leaders Arsenal in the closing stages of the season.
Chelsea, meanwhile, endured another setback in a difficult campaign, despite putting up a resilient defensive display throughout much of the encounter.
The defeat further compounds the London club’s struggles this season as uncertainty continues over their chances of securing European football next term.
