Overview
- Manchester City lifted the FA Cup on Saturday with a 1-0 win over Chelsea at Wembley, decided by Antoine Semenyo’s 72nd-minute back-heel from an Erling Haaland cross.
- The trophy completes a domestic cup double after March’s League Cup win, and City sit two points behind Arsenal with league trips to Bournemouth and Aston Villa still to play.
- Pep Guardiola downplayed celebrations, saying there would be “not even one beer” as he told players to focus on the Premier League run-in.
- Chelsea’s loss was their seventh straight domestic cup final defeat at Wembley after a season of coaching changes, poor league form, and supporter unrest.
- City captain Bernardo Silva and defender John Stones are set to leave at season’s end, and both shared the trophy lift as speculation about Guardiola’s long-term future continues.
