Semenyo wins FA Cup for treble-chasing Man City
Key takeaways
- Bernardo Silva fed Erling Haaland into a channel down the right and he looked up to see Semenyo being tightly marshalled by Levi Colwill.
- Chelsea had chances to hand interim boss Calum McFarlane a moment by which to remember his brief spell in caretaker charge, most glaringly when Enzo Fernández flicked inches over from inside the six-yard box.
- City's attentions now turn to the Premier League title race and Bournemouth away on Tuesday.
Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.
