Semenyo’s stunning goal gives Man City FA Cup victory over Chelsea
Antoine Semenyo scored a remarkable back-flick goal to secure a 1-0 win for Manchester City against Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley. The Ghana winger’s moment of brilliance was enough to clinch City’s eighth FA Cup triumph and their second trophy of the season. Pep Guardiola celebrated his third FA Cup success as City manager, ending a run of two consecutive final defeats. Chelsea, under interim boss Calum McFarlane, struggled to break through City’s defence and continued their disappointing season.
