Manchester City advance into the final of the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium after securing a 1-0 victory over Chelsea.
Pochettino’s side had a few chances to open the scoring in the first half, with Palmer’s effort from inside the penalty area saved well by Ortega.
Jackson rounded the goalkeeper, and it looked as though he had the opportunity to fire into the back of the net, but he opted to find Palmer, but his pass was wayward.
Chelsea Stronger on The Attack
Jerrymusa.com reports that after the break, Chelsea continued to apply the pressure, and Jackson had two chances in quick succession, but Ortega made a double stop to prevent the opener.
The tempo slowed down towards the final few minutes, but it was Guardiola’s men who found the winner. De Bruyne’s low cross into the box was flicked away by the feet of Petrovic, but it landed in front of Bernardo Silva, who fired it into the back of the net.
Chelsea threw everything at it in the final few minutes, but they couldn’t find an equaliser. Pochettino will be disappointed that his side failed to find a goal after creating chances, while City only produced little.
