Semenyo Magic Hands Man City 1-0 FA Cup Win over Chelsea
Semenyo's back-heeled finish in the 72nd minute secured City's eighth FA Cup title and second domestic trophy of the season, while Chelsea suffered a seventh successive cup final defeat.
On Saturday, Manchester City defeated Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley Stadium to win the Cup, completing an English cup double for manager Pep Guardiola.
Forward Antoine Semenyo scored in the 72nd minute, back-heeling an Erling Haaland cross past goalkeeper Robert Sanchez to secure the victory.
Semenyo told the BBC, "Everything happened so fast to be honest," after joining City in January and competing for trophies for the first time.
Chelsea suffered their latest domestic cup final defeat as interim boss Calum McFarlane took charge following the sacking of Liam Rosenior earlier this season.
City captain Bernardo Silva said the team has a "small dream" of winning the Premier League as they prepare to face Bournemouth on Tuesday, trailing Arsenal.
