Live Updates: Manchester City vs. Chelsea in the FA Cup Semi-Final: Result, Final Score, and Reactions as Bernardo Silva Secures Thrilling Victory

Manchester City secured a 1-0 victory against Chelsea, propelling Pep Guardiola's team to their second consecutive FA Cup final appearance following their midweek elimination from the Champions League.

In the 84th minute at Wembley, Bernardo Silva secured Manchester City's hopes of a double by netting the winning goal, punishing Chelsea's missed opportunities in the FA Cup semi-finals. Just days after his penalty miss in the Champions League shootout against Real Madrid, Silva's late strike sealed a narrow 1-0 victory for Pep Guardiola's side.

However, Chelsea endured more heartbreak at Wembley as Mauricio Pochettino's team squandered several clear chances to seize the lead, notably Nicolas Jackson missing three golden opportunities. The Blues also felt aggrieved when their appeals for a penalty were dismissed in the second half after Cole Palmer's free-kick appeared to strike Jack Grealish's arm in the box. Despite this, Silva's late heroics ensured City's FA Cup title defense remained intact.
