The win completes a domestic cup double under Pep Guardiola.

Overview

  • Manchester City, which won Saturday at Wembley, clinched the FA Cup 1-0 through Antoine Semenyo's back-heel from an Erling Haaland pass.
  • The victory completed a domestic cup double after March's Carabao Cup triumph over Arsenal.
  • Pep Guardiola has now led City to four straight FA Cup finals, with wins in 2023 and 2026 and losses in 2024 and 2025.
  • Guardiola said he plans to see out his final contract year and hopes to return to Wembley next season, according to Sopitas.
  • The defeat extended Chelsea's run of FA Cup final losses to four straight and left a trophyless season as the club fights for European qualification under interim coach Callum McFarlane.
