Manchester City claimed their second trophy of the season as Antoine Semenyo's sublime finish saw them beat Chelsea 1-0 to win the FA Cup.

Saturday's contest at Wembley was hardly a classic, but a moment of magic from Semenyo proved decisive.

Pep Guardiola tinkered with his team, leaving Rayan Cherki on the bench, with Omar Marmoush a surprise inclusion, and City stuttered in the first half.

While Chelsea did not test James Trafford, the Blues looked the brighter of the teams before the break, albeit Erling Haaland forced Robert Sanchez into action and saw a goal disallowed for Matheus Nunes drifting offside in the build-up.

Even Cherki's introduction did not immediately spur City into life after the restart, with Chelsea having several hopeful penalty appeals turned down.

Yet in the 72nd minute, Semenyo provided a moment of genius.

Haaland was the provider after he raced in behind and provided a low centre, from which Semenyo sensationally flicked home.

Enzo Fernandez sliced over as Chelsea almost levelled immediately, while Nico O'Reilly and Cherki squandered great chances to add to City's lead.

Liam Delap headed over from the centre of the area, but City were not made to pay for their failure to make it 2-0, as they added the FA Cup to the EFL Cup for this season's haul, and there is still a slim hope of a domestic treble as the Premier League title race heads into the final week.

Data Debrief: Pep does it again

This is the sixth time a team has won both the FA Cup and EFL Cup in the same season, after Arsenal in 1992-93, Liverpool in both 2000-01 and 2021-22, Chelsea in 2006-07 and City themselves in 2018-19.

Since losing the 2020-21 Champions League final to Chelsea, City have not lost any of their last 14 games against the Blues in all competitions (W11 D3), and Guardiola has now got his hands on the FA Cup for the third time.

John Nicholson (four), Alex Ferguson (five), George Ramsay (six) and Arsene Wenger (seven) are the only managers to have won the competition on more occasions.

It needed a magical moment, and Semenyo provided the spark. He is the first Ghanaian to score in an FA Cup final, while Haaland registered a goal involvement at Wembley for the first time. In fact, it is his first goal involvement in a final for City.

Semenyo's goal will prove memorable, but the match was not a free-flowing contest by any means. There were only 16 shots, the fewest in an FA Cup final that Opta has on record (since 2005).

City, though, will care little, as their focus now turns to a league game with Semenyo's former team, Bournemouth, on Tuesday.
