"In what was a nervy affair from the English capital on Saturday afternoon, Manchester City secured an historic eighth FA Cup crown as they clinched a 1-0 victory against historic rivals Chelsea at Wembley. While Pep Guardiola's superstar squad might have largely struggled to find their free-flowing best in Saturday's showpiece event, it was January recruit Antoine Semenyo who proved to be City's hero."

"Although Chances might have come at a real premium in the capital, the former Bournemouth ace produced a wonderfully smart flicked finish and wrote himself into Man City folklore as he bagged a famous winner with just under 10 minutes left."

"As for Chelsea, while the Blues might have put in a largely rugged performance as they travelled across the capital, their chances of claiming a piece of silverware have taken a final blow and their extended crisis continues."

"Crowned Carabao Cup champions back on March 22nd as they secured a deserved 2-0 victory against bitter title foes Arsenal in north London, City got their hands on a second piece of domestic silverware and picked up some key momentum ahead of a season-defining week. Digging deep as they left it late to clinch a history-making eighth FA Cup crown, the Premier League giants have continued to shine on either side of March's international break and they have certainly gained a fearsome reputation for their success at Wembley."
