Bernardo Silva's Last-Gasp Goal Keeps Manchester City's Double Hopes Alive
Manchester City Edge Past Chelsea in FA Cup Semi-Final Thriller
Bernardo Silva's late strike secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory for Manchester City over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium.
Pep Guardiola's side, chasing a domestic double, dominated possession but struggled to break down a resolute Chelsea defense for much of the game. However, with just minutes remaining, Silva received a pass from substitute Gabriel Jesus and drove the ball low into the corner of the net, sending the Etihad Stadium into raptures.
The victory keeps Manchester City's hopes of winning both the Premier League and FA Cup alive. They now face either Liverpool or Newcastle in the final on May 27.
Chelsea, meanwhile, will be disappointed to have missed out on a chance to reach their second FA Cup final in three years. However, they still have the Champions League to play for, where they face Real Madrid in the semi-finals later this month.
