How Manchester City Reached the FA Cup Final

Holders Manchester City will face arch-rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final for a second successive season on Saturday. Their route back to Wembley started with a 5-0 victory over Huddersfield in the third round, with Phil Foden scoring twice and Julian Alvarez, Jeremy Doku, and a Ben Jackson own goal completing the scoring. Kevin De Bruyne set up a goal on his return from injury.

In the fourth round, Nathan Ake scored an 88th-minute winner as City defeated Tottenham 1-0. This marked their first win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The fifth round saw Erling Haaland score five goals in a 6-2 victory over Luton, with De Bruyne contributing four assists. Jordan Clark scored twice for Luton, but City’s dominance prevailed.

The quarter-finals saw Bernardo Silva score a brace in a 2-0 win over Newcastle, with both goals coming off deflections. City controlled the game with 72 per cent possession. In the semi-finals, Silva redeemed himself from missing a penalty in the Champions League by scoring the late winner against Chelsea. Despite Chelsea’s missed chances, Silva capitalized to secure City’s spot in the final.
