FA Cup final underway, Kerr makes history

FA Cup final: City strike first

Manchester City have taken the lead in the FA Cup final through Antoine Semenyo. The goal came in the 72nd minute, a clever backheel that left Chelsea with it all to do (2) (3).

Haaland thought he had made it worse shortly after, but his goal was ruled out — keeping you in touching distance (7). Jeremy Doku has been a constant threat down the wing, and City are piling on pressure. This is the biggest match of your season and right now, you need a response.

Kerr equals record in final game

Sam Kerr became Chelsea's joint all-time top goalscorer with the winner in a 1–0 victory over Manchester United in the Women's Super League (4). It was her final appearance for the club — and a fitting way to bow out. Fran Kirby and Sonia Bompastor were also central to a performance that sealed the season the right way. Kerr's legacy at Chelsea is now etched into the record books.

Fan-reaktioner

Blues fans are split between two emotional extremes. The women's team win had supporters celebrating Kerr's record-equalling farewell as a storybook ending (r/chelseafc). On the men's side, frustration is boiling over — Semenyo's goal has sparked anger, with some questioning why his apparent obstruction on Cucurella in the buildup wasn't reviewed (r/chelseafc). It's a fanbase riding both joy and fury at once.
