Manchester City F.C. completed a domestic cup double on Saturday after beating Chelsea F.C. 1-0 in the FA Cup final.
The only goal of the match came in the 72nd minute through Antoine Semenyo.
The Ghana forward reacted quickly inside the box and cleverly back-heeled the ball past Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez after receiving a fine cross from Erling Haaland.
The goal brought life into the game as both teams pushed forward in the closing stages.
City nearly scored again when Rayan Cherki tested Sánchez with a strong effort, while Matheus Nunes hit the post as Pep Guardiola’s side continued to attack.
Chelsea searched for an equaliser but could not break through Manchester City’s solid defence.
The victory earned City their eighth FA Cup title and completed a domestic cup double after winning the League Cup earlier this year.
For Semenyo, the winning goal was one of the biggest moments of his career as he helped City lift another major trophy.
