Manchester City's FA Cup Hopes Alive After Bernardo Silva's Late Heroics
Sublime Silva Sinks Chelsea
Late Goal Keeps Double Dreams Alive
Bernardo Silva's late strike propelled Manchester City to a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday, reigniting their hopes of a domestic double. The Citizens, still reeling from their Champions League exit, showed resilience and determination to overcome a resilient Chelsea side.
After a goalless first half, the game burst into life in the second. Chelsea, the holders, looked dangerous on the break but found City's defense resolute. However, with time running out, Silva pounced on a loose ball in the Chelsea box and coolly slotted it home, sending the City faithful into raptures.
The victory keeps City's double hopes alive. They face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Wednesday before returning to Wembley for the FA Cup final against Liverpool on May 28. Chelsea, meanwhile, will be left to rue their missed opportunities but can still focus on securing a top-four finish in the Premier League and winning the UEFA Europa League.
