Manchester City made history on Saturday with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Southampton in their FA Cup semi-final clash at Wembley Stadium.
After a goalless first half, the match burst into life late on. Finn Azaz put Southampton ahead in the 79th minute, raising hopes of an upset. However, Pep Guardiola’s side responded swiftly, as Jeremy Doku and Nicolás González struck in the second half to turn the game around and seal victory for the defending champions.
According to OptaJoe, the result means City have become the first team in history to reach four consecutive FA Cup finals, underlining their domestic dominance in recent years.
Managed by Pep Guardiola, the Cityzens will now await the winner of the other semi-final between Chelsea and Leeds United, who are set to face off on Sunday.
