Manchester City kept their hopes of a domestic double alive after Bernardo Silva's late goal secured a 1-0 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday. The reigning Premier League champions will now face Liverpool in the final at Wembley on May 28.
City dominated the game from start to finish but found it difficult to break down a resolute Chelsea defence. However, Silva's goal in the 70th minute finally gave them the breakthrough they deserved.
The Portuguese midfielder curled home a superb effort from the edge of the box to send the City fans into raptures. It was Silva's fourth goal in the FA Cup this season and it proved to be the winner.
Chelsea had a few chances to equalize in the closing stages but they could not find a way past City's defence. The Blues will now turn their attention to the Premier League, where they are currently third in the table.
For City, this victory keeps their hopes of a historic treble alive. They have already won the Carabao Cup this season and they are also in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
