Bernardo Silva Sinks Chelsea to Keep City's Double Hopes Alive
Chelsea Suffer Knockout Blow as Late Goal Seals City Triumph
FA Cup Semi-Final Verdict Delivers City Lift-Off
Bernardo Silva emerged as Manchester City's hero on Saturday, scoring a late winner to secure a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the first FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
The Citizens, fresh off their disappointing Champions League exit to Real Madrid, bounced back in style, with Silva's 70th-minute strike proving decisive.
City dominated possession throughout the contest, but Chelsea defended resolutely until Silva's moment of magic. Chelsea's fatigue from their demanding schedule may have played a role in their inability to convert their own chances, with Nicolas Jackson squandering a golden opportunity.
The victory keeps City's hopes of a domestic double alive, with the Premier League title race still in the balance. Chelsea, on the other hand, will be left to rue a costly defeat that could impact their top-four aspirations.
