Semenyo’s Backheel Stunner Seals FA Cup for Man City, Completes Domestic Double Against Chelsea

May 17, 2026 • 1 min read

Manchester City have clinched their eighth FA Cup trophy, defeating Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley on Saturday. Ghanaian forward Semenyo delivered the magic in the 72nd minute with a breathtaking backheel finish that will be replayed for years.

The £65m signing from Bournemouth, named Player of the Match, has now scored 20 goals this season across both clubs. The victory completes a domestic cup double for City, who also lifted the Carabao Cup.

Chelsea pushed hard, seeing two VAR-denied penalty claims waved away, but City’s defense stood firm. After the final whistle, Semenyo shared a heartfelt embrace with his family pitchside in a touching moment.
