Manchester City Reach FA Cup Final with Narrow Victory Over Chelsea
Silva's Late Strike Seals Triumph
Bernardo Silva became Manchester City's hero on Saturday as his late goal sank Chelsea and propelled the defending champions into the FA Cup final.
The match was a closely contested affair, with both sides having their chances. However, it was Silva who made the decisive contribution, firing home in the 83rd minute to secure a 1-0 victory.
The victory keeps alive Manchester City's hopes of a domestic double this season. The team is also well-positioned in the Premier League race, sitting five points behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand.
Chelsea, meanwhile, will be left to rue their missed opportunities. Thomas Tuchel's side had a number of chances to score, but they were unable to find the net.
The loss is a blow to Chelsea's hopes of winning a first FA Cup since 2018. However, the team will take some consolation from the fact that they gave a good account of themselves against a strong Manchester City side.
