Manchester City Defeats Chelsea to Claim FA Cup and Achieve Domestic Cup Double

Antoine Semenyo’s second-half goal secured Manchester City’s FA Cup victory against Chelsea, achieving a domestic cup double.

Manchester City achieved a domestic cup double by defeating Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup final held at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Antoine Semenyo netted the crucial goal in the second half, executing a skillful back-heel finish from Erling Haaland’s cross, which was set up by Bernardo Silva outside the penalty area.

City dominated the first half, but Chelsea came back fiercely after the break in a tense final that featured few clear opportunities. Semenyo’s finish ultimately made the difference as Pep Guardiola achieved his 20th trophy in English football.

The victory secures the FA Cup for City, complementing their Carabao Cup success this season, and maintains their aspirations for a Premier League title if they can close the gap on Arsenal in the final two matches.
