🏆 Semenyo stunner sees Man City crowned FA Cup champions

Manchester City won the 2025/26 FA Cup after beating Chelsea 1-0 on Saturday.

Scorers: Semenyo 71'

Two Premier League giants battled it out on the pitch and were forced to grow into the game over time to decide who would lift the Cup.

Both teams opted to start different goalkeepers, with Robert Sanchez and James Trafford entering for their respective clubs. However, neither shot-stopper was really troubled during the first half.

Manchester City maintained 60% possession but only had two chances on target. Erling Haaland did have the ball in the net at one point, but the effort was rightfully offside as his wait for a goal at Wembley lived on.

Chelsea, meanwhile, had Joao Pedro and Marc Cucurella fairly active with the Blues looking to pounce on any City slip-up. But whenever they did, decision-making in the final third struggled to leave any impact.

But something then clicked for the dark blue side in the second half, and Chelsea were the ones repeatedly threatening to strike. Great play along the wings saw City sweating, and the opener appeared to be coming their way.

That was until City turned things 1-0 thanks to purely brilliant football. Haaland received the ball out wide in the box and opted to dish out the ball to a teammate. He linked up perfectly with , who instinctively pulled off a sublime backheel as the ball rolled into the far left corner.
