Manchester City secured the 2025–26 FA Cup title on Saturday at Wembley, edging Chelsea 1-0 to claim their eighth FA Cup triumph.
The decisive moment came deep into the match when Semenyo produced a late, stunning backheel finish that sent City’s players and fans into raptures on the Wembley podium.
City controlled large swathes of the contest through dominant possession and intricate build-up play, repeatedly probing Chelsea’s defence and dictating the game’s tempo.
Despite a season that presented its challenges, Manchester City’s tactical discipline and persistence paid off when Semenyo — introduced to change the game — flicked a backheel finish into the net to break the deadlock.
