Antoine Semenyo’s second-half flick secured Manchester City’s cup double as the Cityzens edged Chelsea at Wembley.
The Ghanaian winger flicked the ball into the back of the net from Erling Haaland’s pass to put Man City ahead in the 71st minute.
Semenyo had earlier missed a glorious chance from a header to give City the lead in the second half but made amends afterwards.
After a seemingly cagey affair, Semenyo’s goal lit up the FA Cup final as Chelsea pushed for an equaliser.
Darren England waved off two penalty appeals from Chelsea after João Pedro and Jorrel Hato fell in the box.
Rayan Cherki powered a left-footed strike towards goal late on but Robert Sanchez made a brilliant save with his right hand to deny the Frenchman.
