Manchester City beats Chelsea with late Silva goal to make FA Cup final
Manchester City’s European rule is over — its domestic dominance is not.
Bernardo Silva’s late goal secured a 1-0 win against Chelsea in their FA Cup semifinal Saturday. That ensured City maintained its pursuit of back-to-back domestic doubles in the week its Champions League defence was ended by Real Madrid.
Pep Guardiola’s team had to dig deep at Wembley, with Chelsea creating the best of the chances before Bernardo struck an 84th-minute winner.
A sweet moment for the Portuguese playmaker was even more special given he missed a penalty in the shootout loss to Madrid on Wednesday.
