Manchester City have won the FA Cup with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the final at Wembley Stadium to add to their collection of major domestic silverware.
The second half was the key period and Antoine Semenyo delivered a beautiful effort to break the tie, finishing off a well-worked move including Erling Haaland. His ultimately enough goal was enough to divide both teams in a closely-fought battle throughout.
Chelsea had their moments but could not take their chances as the London team failed to break down City’s resolute defence. The loss adds to a tough season for the Blues, who did not make the most of vital chances in front of goal.
City, meanwhile, controlled long periods of the game with calm possession and defensive discipline, managing the contest well after going in front. The win extends their good home form and adds another FA Cup to their recent collection.
The final, before a packed Wembley audience, again underlined the developing animosity between both clubs who have faced in several important domestic and European championships in recent years.
Chelsea will be ruing their wasted opportunity, while Manchester City will be celebrating another piece of silverware in what has been another great campaign.
