Semenyo magic puts City on the brink
Antoine Semenyo scored a stunning backheel goal in the 72nd minute to give City a 1–0 lead over Chelsea in the FA Cup final. The goal, described as "wonderschone" and "héérlijk" by Dutch outlets, has City 18 minutes plus stoppage time away from lifting the trophy (2) (3). Rodri and Erling Haaland both started as expected in what is the biggest match of your season (6). A second domestic cup sits within reach, adding to the League Cup already secured this campaign (5) (6).
