Fernandez Sanchez Colwill Chelsea GFX

Fernandez fails to show as dogged Chelsea come up short

Chelsea's quest for FA Cup glory fell just short as they were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City in Saturday's final despite a battling display at Wembley. Antoine Semenyo's sublime flick proved to be the winner in the 72nd minute, as the Blues' stubborn resistance was finally ended by a moment of sheer individual quality.

Sublime Semenyo secures FA Cup glory for Pep & City

Manchester City secured their second trophy of the season as Antoine Semenyo's second-half goal secured a 1-0 win over Chelsea in Saturday's FA Cup final. Pep Guardiola's side edged what was a pretty lifeless affair at Wembley, and Semenyo's sublime flick, scored with 18 minutes left on the clock, proved to be the difference as City won the competition for the eighth time in their history.

Barca chief eyes Chelsea's Joao Pedro

Barcelona sporting director Deco is reportedly set to attend the FA Cup final at Wembley to personally scout Chelsea forward Joao Pedro. The former Blues midfielder has been in London this week for top-level meetings as the Catalan giants prepare for a significant squad overhaul this summer.

Chelsea Enzo Fernandez GFX

Enzo can salvage tainted Chelsea legacy with FA Cup parting gift

Enzo Fernandez faces a date with destiny in Saturday's FA Cup final. His future at Chelsea is far from certain in the wake of some all-too-public flirting with a transfer to Real Madrid, but the midfielder can give the Blues the ideal parting gift as he prepares to line up against another of his potential suitors in Manchester City. If the stand-in captain can lead the manager-less side to victory, that would go some way to salvaging his tainted legacy.
