Manchester City, the defending champions, won a tough game against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday. They had control of the ball for most of the match, with 63% possession and 3 shots on target.
The only goal came in the 84th minute from Bernardo Silva, assisted by Kevin De Bruyne’s low cross from the left. This secured City’s spot in the FA Cup Final. They will face the winner of the semi-final between Manchester United and Coventry City.
This victory brought some relief to City after their recent disappointment in the Champions League quarter-finals, where they were knocked out by Real Madrid in a penalty shootout. Silva, who missed a penalty in that game, redeemed himself with this goal.
In Pep Guardiola’s 465th game as City’s manager, his team showed resilience to overcome fatigue and injuries and beat a strong Chelsea side.
