Manchester City bounced back from the disappointment of the Champions League quarter-final exit to Real Madrid as they beat Chelsea 1-0 to qualify for the FACup final
Bernardo Silva’s late goal sunk Chelsea at Wembley as City aim for a double this season.
It was redemption for Silva after his poor spot-kick played a key role in City’s loss on penalties to Real.
The Portuguese midfielder turned in the winner at the far post from Kevin de Bruyne’s cross six minutes from time.
Chelsea will regret missing a host of chances, nearly all falling to striker Nicolas Jackson, as they suffered another agonising Wembley experience after the extra-time defeat on penalties against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.
And Chelsea also feel they were victims of an injustice as they were infuriated that they were not awarded a second-half penalty when Cole Palmer’s free-kick struck Jack Grealish’s hand in the wall, only for the video assistant referee to rule no offence had taken place.
City remain on course for another double of Premier League and FA Cup and will now face either arch-rivals Manchester United or Championship side Coventry City in the final.
