  "textContent": "\n\n\nManchester City have lifted the FA Cup for a third time under Pep Guardiola after Antoine Semenyo produced an absolutely sensational backheel finish to sink Chelsea at Wembley.\n\nThe forward's moment of magic arrived in the 70th minute, breaking the deadlock in what had been a tense and cagey final between two sides desperate for silverware.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nIt's a result that extends Chelsea's miserable run at the national stadium, with the Blues now suffering a record seventh consecutive domestic cup final defeat at Wembley.\n\nFor City, though, it's pure jubilation as Guardiola secures another piece of silverware in what could be his final season.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe goal itself was a thing of beauty, and City fans inside Wembley went absolutely wild.\n\nBernardo Silva picked out Erling Haaland on the right, and the Norwegian unselfishly laid the ball back for Semenyo rather than shooting himself.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Manchester United reach agreement to appoint Michael Carrick as club's manager\n  * Rory McIlroy makes feelings clear on 'not great' PGA Championship setup\n  * Scottie Scheffler hits out at 'absurd' decision in the PGA Championship\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nWhat followed was pure class – Semenyo produced the cheekiest of flicks around the corner, spinning the ball into the far post beyond Robert Sanchez\n\nChelsea's defence, which had been rock solid, suddenly looked completely disorganised.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n> OH. MY. WORD.\n>\n> Antoine Semenyo with a sensational flick to light up this #EmiratesFACup Final and give @ManCity the breakthrough 🤯\n>\n> 📺 @BBCMOTD, @footballontnt and HBO Max pic.twitter.com/6WEjBKOHKS\n>\n> — Emirates FA Cup (@EmiratesFACup) May 16, 2026\n\nThe opening 70 minutes had been a proper arm-wrestle between the two sides.\n\nCity dominated early on, controlling possession and probing Chelsea's backline, but clear-cut chances proved elusive.\n\nHaaland had a golden opportunity when Reece James was dispossessed, but the Norwegian fired his effort miles wide – continuing his struggles in finals, having now failed to score in his last nine for City.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nChelsea grew into the contest after the break, with Moises Caicedo going close with a header that Rodri cleared off the line.\n\nThe Blues had multiple penalty appeals waved away by referee Darren England, with VAR agreeing each time.\n\nCity's goal sent Chelsea tumbling towards an unwanted piece of history – a record seventh straight domestic cup final loss at Wembley, following three League Cup and three FA Cup defeats.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe Blues threw everything forward in search of an equaliser, with Enzo Fernandez attempting to loop the ball over James Trafford but sending it over the bar.\n\nCity could have wrapped things up, with Rayan Cherki hitting the post and then firing straight at Sanchez as Chelsea's defending fell apart.\n\nLiam Delap, the former City man, had a free header for Chelsea but sent it horribly wide with five minutes remaining – their best chance to rescue something from a painful afternoon.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
