Antoine Semenyo scored one of the most beautiful goals in FA Cup final history with a bold backheel, sealing a 1-0 win for Manchester City over Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.
The Ghanaian striker's strike late in the second half helped City lift the FA Cup for the eighth time, and their second trophy this season after the League Cup in March.
Semenyo joined the ranks of legendary FA Cup final goalscorers such as Ricky Villa, Michael Owen, Roberto Di Matteo, and Steven Gerrard.
The victory ended City's streak of two consecutive final losses to Crystal Palace and Manchester United.
Manager Pep Guardiola, who won the FA Cup for the third time in his career (2019, 2023, and 2025), now has 20 trophies in his illustrious decade-long tenure at City.
Guardiola's side is on a 21-match unbeaten run in all domestic competitions and will trail Arsenal by five points if the Gunners beat Burnley on Monday. However, they can reduce the gap to two points if they beat Bournemouth on Tuesday.
For Chelsea, the defeat is the latest blow in a turbulent season. The London club sits in ninth place and has virtually no chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League. Under interim manager Calum McFarlane, Chelsea defended tightly but lacked creativity.
The match was evenly contested for most of the time. Erling Haaland almost opened the scoring for City but was denied by goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. Chelsea had a dangerous counterattack but failed to convert. Finally, in the 72nd minute, Haaland backheeled to Semenyo, who executed a delicate backheel into the far corner, securing the win for the champions.
