Live FA Cup Semi-Final Result and Reaction
Manchester City has progressed to their second consecutive FA Cup final after securing a thrilling 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. Bernardo Silva's 70th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides, sending Pep Guardiola's men into the showpiece event.
The game was a closely fought affair, with both teams creating chances throughout. Chelsea came closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half, but Hakim Ziyech's effort rattled the crossbar. Man City gradually gained control of the game after the interval, and Silva's late header proved decisive.
The victory means that Manchester City will face either Manchester United or Newcastle United in the FA Cup final on May 20th. It will be their second consecutive appearance in the final, having defeated Watford 6-0 last year.
