Man City lift the FA Cup after Semenyo's flicked finish
Antoine Semenyo scored the only goal of the game with a flicked finish as Manchester City lifted the FA Cup for an eighth time.
It wasn't a classic FA Cup final and took a long time to get going with City coming the closest to opening the scoring in the 27th minute when Matheus Nunes squared the ball for Erling Haaland to net but the Portuguese full-back was offside when he received the ball.
Shortly after that Robert Sánchez needed to be alert as Haaland drilled a shot that the goalkeeper got in the way of. The City striker is still surprisingly without a goal at Wembley.
The lack of creativity on the pitch was addressed at half-time by Pep Guardiola who brought on Rayan Cherki for the ineffective Omar Marmoush.
City had the best chance shortly after the restart when Antoine Semenyo headed over from close range.
That was a chance that the forward really should have buried but he netted the winner with a far more difficult chance. Haaland put in a low ball that Semenyo flicked into the corner in what was a superb improvised finish.
Chelsea struggled to create clear-cut chances but had a great one shortly after conceding when Levi Colwill flicked the ball on before couldn't keep his effort down.
