00:00Every talent's come, everyone wants to win.
00:02Crazy gang of feet in the Culture Club.
00:06Gerrard!
00:07Yes!
00:08The story in the end when it continues.
00:11What a goal!
00:12Back with a scorer!
00:14It's the world's run!
00:15Come on!
00:18This is the moment of joy that all professional footballers hope for.
00:22For the first time, Crystal Palace are winners!
00:29Good evening and welcome to Wembley Stadium for the second semi-final between Chelsea and Leeds United.
00:35Yesterday, Manchester City booked their place in the FA Cup final beating Southampton by two goals to one.
00:41Who will join them in that final? Let's find out in the company of Danny Murphy and Guy Mowbray.
00:48Chelsea walk out for their 28th FA Cup semi-final after another turbulent week in the strangest of seasons.
00:55For Leeds, it's their ninth. The first for 39 years.
00:59And their fans, as always, have travelled en masse to play their part in reaching the final for the first
01:04time since 1973.
01:06Callum McFarlane's first Chelsea selection, second time round as interim boss, shows three changes from Liam Resenia's last choice.
01:13Chosin's back in defence.
01:15Alejandro Garnaccio gets a start having scored in the quarter and semi-final.
01:19And the same goes for JoĆ£o Pedro.
01:21He returns after missing the last two games with a thigh problem.
01:24Cole Palmer fit two and on the bench.
01:26For Leeds, well, their only change is in goal with Lucas Perry continuing to be the designated cupkeeper.
01:33Jadon Bogle's recovered from a blow to the foot at Bournemouth on Wednesday.
01:36And there are first starts in the Cup this season for Brendan Aronson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
01:42Danny Murphy is alongside me to enjoy this.
01:46Long time since they've been here, big day for them, big day for Chelsea too.
01:51Six previous FA Cup ties between these two most famous teams.
01:56Chelsea have won all six.
01:59The last one came in the fifth round a couple of years ago, and that was the first time they
02:03met since the infamous 1970 Cup final and replay.
02:09The game dubbed the dirtiest ever, a game watched by the biggest TV audience for a football match in this
02:14country ever as well.
02:16The Leeds have started really brightly and surged downfield to get themselves a free kick just outside the Chelsea box.
02:23He's actually lucky not to get a yellow card in the first one.
02:26Yeah, certainly stopped a very promising attack.
02:30Strange.
02:31It's one of those where 15 minutes in you get a yellow, but the first minute you get away with
02:35it.
02:40Robert Sanchez has got to set himself for whatever comes his way.
02:43It is Tanaka and nothing going his way.
02:46And what they didn't do was make the keeper work.
02:48Yeah, you see, from the angle of free kick, really, you're either going over the wall or you're going the
02:54side of the keeper as hard as you can.
02:57And McFarlane is one of the Southampton staff at academy level when they beat Leeds in the play-off final
03:04here two years ago.
03:06I think he only joined Chelsea last summer to be the boss of the under-21 side.
03:12This season's taken a couple of turns for him.
03:15They did all right this first game, didn't they? I think it was Man City.
03:17True against Manchester City and then lost against Fulham.
03:20But I don't think there was any argument to say the players weren't responding to whatever he'd asked them to
03:24do.
03:24They certainly were.
03:25And they've got to again today.
03:27Chelsea having lost seven of their last eight games across all competitions,
03:31losing their last five in the Premier League without scoring a single goal.
03:34First time that's happened to Chelsea in their league history since 1912.
03:41Good ball.
03:42Calvert-Lewin has played it through for Aronson.
03:46And Sanchez reacts.
03:51Right leg raised just at the right time.
03:54Lovely little touch from Calvert-Lewin.
03:57Aronson in on goal.
03:58And Sanchez did what he had to do.
04:01He's in one-on-one, he's got a score really there, guy.
04:04It is a terrific save from Sanchez, of course, but he's got so much room on the side of him.
04:10I'm not sure he's going to get a better opportunity than that this afternoon.
04:14Leeds United royalty here, Eddie Gray is at every Leeds game.
04:17Now there are the memories of 1970, personified.
04:22What a player, what a great man.
04:24Absolutely.
04:26Throws it into no-man's land.
04:28Lavia wasn't a great header by Biol.
04:30Fernandes to JoĆ£o Pedro, it's off the post.
04:34All came from Biol's rather weak header away.
04:38An inch away from being the first goal, but Leeds gave it to them.
04:42You know, Biol, he had nobody around him.
04:43A bit of communication or a bit of calmness on a normal day.
04:47You mentioned how Leeds need to restore a little bit of calm.
04:51He's usually a picture of calm.
04:53He needs to transmit himself to his team.
04:58Just reaching the midway point of a really lively first half in the second semi-final.
05:04It would be fair to say mistake-ridden.
05:06Well, it would be watching that.
05:07Strauch's giving it away.
05:09Here's Pedro Neto.
05:11Neto in.
05:12Fernandes!
05:14Chelsea's captain heads them in front.
05:19Pascal Strauch a little uncertain in possession in his own half.
05:23Chelsea had two players running into the box.
05:26Neto's job.
05:27Ping one of them out.
05:29Job done.
05:30Well, they haven't learnt.
05:32Two minutes ago, Biol makes the mistake.
05:34This time it's Strauch dwelling on the ball.
05:36Poor play.
05:37Lack-a-daisy call.
05:39Taking too many touches.
05:40Just get rid.
05:41And then when Neto gets in there, can he pick out a right cross?
05:45Yes, he can.
05:45It's a simple task for Fernandes to head it in there.
05:49Master of their own downfall leads.
05:52If it's worth marking on a little bit of Liam Resenia aftermath.
05:56Remember whether it was the club's decision or the then head coach's decision.
06:00But Enzo Fernandes was left out of the last round of the FA Cup.
06:04Well, suspended officially by the club.
06:07For all that you might think about Enzo Fernandes.
06:09And it was a curious scene, wasn't it, at the end of the match at Brighton in midweek
06:12when he was staring down the Chelsea fans.
06:15They are a better team when he's in it.
06:22Fernandes.
06:26Melo Gusto.
06:30Not the best of passes to Pedro Neto.
06:35VAR are just having a look at something involving Calvert-Lewin and Kukurea.
06:42And this is it.
06:44Bear in mind, there was a red card for a hair pull on Calvert-Lewin recently.
06:51Calvert-Lewin had a hold.
06:52He's not looking at the ball.
06:53He's not looking at the ball.
06:55His hands got caught maybe on the back of his hair or head.
06:58And there's nothing in that.
07:00I don't think hair nets are a bad idea.
07:04I never thought we were going to go down this route this afternoon.
07:07Well, you have to wear one if you work at McDonald's, don't you?
07:13Save a lot of Mider.
07:15More from McMurphy later.
07:16Yep.
07:20Two Leeds changes for the start of the second half.
07:24Joe Rodon and Anton Stack have come on, replacing Jacob Beal and James Justin.
07:32I think, Danny, that has made a shift to a pack four for Leeds.
07:36Yeah, I think it was the right thing to do.
07:37Match them up, take more of a risk, gives you an extra man in midfield.
07:41It's a long Leeds throw.
07:44Strouk is beaten to the ball, but Chelsea can't get the ball away properly.
07:47That's a good effort.
07:48Good save, Sanchez.
07:50What a save.
07:51And enough strength on the hand to divert the ball onto the roof of his net.
07:55Such a crisp strike.
07:57He thinks he's scored.
07:59That is such a strong hand from Sanchez.
08:01He's had some criticism this season, but he's made two outstanding saves this afternoon.
08:08I always thought Elvis was from Leeds, and I've been proved correct.
08:17Javier to Neto.
08:20Neto through for Malagusto's turn two.
08:24Lovely touch.
08:25Has to be, doesn't it?
08:27Took too long about it, and Leeds are able to recover.
08:31What a move.
08:33Would have been one of the goals of the season.
08:35It's a phenomenal move.
08:37Lots of great pass in and interchange.
08:40When it comes to JoĆ£o Pedro, he's just got to hit it.
08:43Takes an extra touch, and Tanaka gets in.
08:47Been let off there.
08:49That was move of the match, that was move of the weekend.
08:54Kevin Farka deep in thought, as he so often is.
08:56I think the voice might have been a bit deep during half-time.
08:59He might have just raised the decibel level a bit.
09:03Does it have that feel, Danny, of a game where if Leeds do score,
09:06then Chelsea have a real spot of bother?
09:09Absolutely.
09:10Momentum could shift.
09:14Okafor.
09:15He's really tight to that touchline this half, and trying to use the ball well.
09:19He's done it there!
09:20Oh, he's got a score.
09:21Calvert-Lewin's header is straight at Sanchez, and it basically gave him catching practice.
09:27Great opportunity for Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
09:30No power, no direction.
09:34It's a good ball in to Anton Stak, and an even better one from him out to Bogle.
09:41Stak.
09:43He's gone down.
09:44Caicedo and Lavia came together to stop him, and the yellow card's out now.
09:49Moises Caicedo has got it, and Leeds have got the free kick.
09:52Good move again from Leeds, wasn't it?
09:54Just catches his ankle, doesn't he?
09:56He's a little bit late.
09:58Sanchez has gone down.
10:00And the Leeds fans have reacted to that.
10:04See, this is the problem, though, isn't it, with the rules?
10:06If you made it so a player has to go off for the goalkeeper,
10:10then we would see less of this.
10:12And there's a little bit sparking over on the halfway line.
10:16Lavia is involved in a confrontation, a bit of pushing going on.
10:21This is Chelsea against Leeds.
10:22We've been waiting for it.
10:24And Perdue was trying to get in and stop the conversation
10:28between Tosin and Callum McFarlane, the interim boss of Chelsea,
10:31because Leeds clearly have the idea that Sanchez taking a seat
10:36was purely engineered so that the coaching staff could get instructions
10:40on to the players as to how to get this defended.
10:47Stack. Stack has a go.
10:49And it beats the post.
10:51And Sanchez doesn't have to make any sort of effort to save it.
10:55Sanchez, by the way, is okay.
10:57Do you know what, I'm really surprised to you.
11:00I'm joking.
11:07Stack.
11:08Can advance into Chelsea territory.
11:13Mecha.
11:14Just let that run away.
11:16And in stretching to try and keep possession,
11:19he's committed the foul and got himself a booking.
11:21Is it the toes or the top of the studs?
11:25It's not a red card.
11:27He catches him a little bit, but he doesn't mean to,
11:29and there's no velocity in it.
11:35Fernandes.
11:40Vogel has given it to Pedro Neto.
11:42Leeds lucky to get it back.
11:43Vogel then has his shirt pulled by Neto.
11:46Neto down as though elbowed.
11:48Referee had already given the free kick to Leeds United.
11:54Well, he's going to give a yellow card to Neto,
11:55but he's already given a yellow card to Vogel.
11:58Just the end of his fingers on his cheek.
12:01You make that sound as though it's nothing.
12:03It was nothing.
12:04Hence the fact Neto's up and fine.
12:07After looking like he needed an ambulance.
12:11They have to keep believing.
12:13Only one goal in this.
12:15And they've got to hope for the lucky break.
12:17Lucas Perry.
12:20Stroke is up there.
12:21Extra forward.
12:24Nonto will let it go for a throw.
12:26And Perdue will take it.
12:28And he's going to hurl it into that Chelsea penalty area
12:31and hope that mayhem falls Leeds way.
12:34Why not?
12:36Goalkeeper Lucas Perry's going for it.
12:38This has to be it.
12:40And Perdue.
12:41Sanchez is coming to get it.
12:43Two hands on it.
12:45And Perdue and Nonto in one another's way.
12:47Nonto then blocked by Parma.
12:51Palmer again.
12:53And that will be it.
12:56Chelsea have got themselves together.
12:59And they've managed to engineer a real team performance
13:04to take themselves through to yet another FA Cup final.
13:09One goal won it.
13:11Enzo Fernandes scored it.
13:13But for Chelsea, what about the story of Callum McFarlane?
13:18In amateur football, it seems five minutes ago,
13:21brought in as the under-21 boss at the start of this season.
13:25At the end of it, he'll be leading Chelsea out here at Wembley for an FA Cup final.
13:31It'll be all blue at Wembley on May the 16th.
13:34Two different shades of blue.
13:35It'll be Manchester City against Chelsea in the Cup final.
13:40Today in the semi, Chelsea won, Leeds nil.
13:44Many congratulations, Callum.
13:46What were the important factors for you in that FA Cup semi-final win?
13:50Probably the character was the most pleasing part.
13:52I think those lads showed how much they want to win a football game
13:55and what they were willing to do to win a really important football game for the club.
13:58How important was it to get that early goal?
14:02Did you feel it lifted the confidence?
14:05Yeah, definitely. Of course.
14:06I thought we deserved it.
14:07The lads are confident.
14:08There are some top players in there.
14:09Some of the best players, in my opinion,
14:11some of the best players in the world for their position.
14:13But when you're in a difficult period,
14:15it just feels like luck's going against you.
14:18It doesn't feel like it's going to click.
14:19So maybe that gave them a bit more of a less stress
14:22and a bit more confidence to go and play their game.
14:24It was sadly not our very best day.
14:26And for that, yeah, I was disappointed with this.
14:29But also for the players, it's a good experience.
14:31And it's also like once you're again there with such a big game,
14:34then you have learnt out of it and go a bit more with a bit more confidence
14:38and less nervousness into the game.
14:40And I think this is more than what we take out of it.
14:43We had nothing to lose today, just a lot to win.
14:45We saw the goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, go down with an injury,
14:48which we know is going to stop play.
14:50Did you feel that that stifled your momentum?
14:53No comments from my side.
14:55I've spoken about this topic already.
14:57After a loss, I want to show some class and for that, no comments for us.
15:01I don't know if you were genuinely injured or not.
15:02I mean, you can tell me, but obviously we have seen it.
15:06A tactic that's been used by goalkeepers a lot.
15:07It's not a tactic.
15:08I was hurt.
15:10I've been hurt for the last four days, but it's not too bad.
15:13It was causing me a bit of pain, but it helped the team give me a little break.
15:18So it's one of them.
15:19And with the save at the start of the second half, did you see that relatively late?
15:23Because it was really travelling.
15:24It was so very late.
15:25It was a bit of intuition because I didn't see it popping out on the left side.
15:28So I was like, has to go to the right side.
15:30So I took my step and it was a good save.
15:33To be honest, I thought that after the save it was going in,
15:36but it just hit the top of the team.
15:37So I'm happy with that, yeah.
15:38Does it feel surreal the fact that you're here, you're looking after this big football club
15:43and now you're going to be leading them out in an FA Cup final as well?
15:47You don't have time to take it in.
15:49Maybe at the end of the season it will sink in, but right now it's just head down,
15:53hard work and make sure we're performing as well as we can for the remaining five games now.
15:58Danny Murphy has sped from the commentary box to join mid-pitch side. Danny, enjoy that?
16:02I actually did. I thought it was a good technical battle.
16:05The change at half-time from Leeds worked for them.
16:07I thought Chelsea were a really good first half.
16:09Good reaction after the diabolical performance at Brighton.
16:13They showed some resilience. They showed some fight.
16:15It's what their fans wanted.
16:17And I thought at half-time they were comfortable, but that change tactically
16:20and the two subs second half for Leeds made it a real good game second half.
16:24And, you know, the goalkeeper who we'll come on to, I'm sure.
16:27But he made a couple of great saves to get Chelsea over the line.
16:30So a big win. A big win.
16:32Getting them to a final after what's been a disastrous month or two.
16:36There'll be a lot of happy smiles and faces now in that Chelsea dressing room
16:39after a torrid few weeks.
16:41Enzo Fernandes, man in the news over the past couple of days or so, gets the header.
16:45But Leeds United made it far too easy for him.
16:48They did. They made some mistakes in the first half.
16:51They were causing their own problems.
16:53Maybe a bit of nerves, you know, a big occasion.
16:56Understandable.
16:56But you can't keep giving Chelsea chances.
16:58Pedro Neto, he got in on that right-hand side.
17:01And could he find the right cross?
17:02Yeah, it was perfect on his weak foot.
17:04And Fernandes, to be fair, player of his quality.
17:07Nice easy header for him.
17:09Just settled everybody down.
17:11Settled Chelsea players down.
17:12Settled the fans down.
17:15And then deserved it with their first half performance.
17:17You mentioned Robert Sanchez.
17:19I mean, some outstanding saves.
17:21And also, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, that header, he's got to do better, Danny.
17:25I think Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be really disappointed
17:27because he's so good in the air.
17:28Yeah.
17:29You know, normally that type of thing he thrives on.
17:32In terms of Sanchez, I mean, he's had a lot of criticism.
17:37He can be proud of his performance today.
17:39I thought the first save from Aronson.
17:42He was big.
17:43He kept himself upright a long time.
17:46Just instinct as well, isn't it?
17:46Yeah, he saved it with his foot.
17:48I mean, it wasn't the best finish, but still a terrific save.
17:50But the save of the day was the strong hand from Stack early.
17:54And I think it was his first touch in the second half.
17:56He won't hit a sweeter ball than that.
17:58And to have the strength in it.
18:00He needed a bit of looks.
18:01It went up in the air and landed on the roof of the net.
18:03But it's a brilliant save from him.
18:04And, you know, maybe those fans will appreciate it.
18:07Because I think he's a decent keeper in many aspects.
18:10It's just with his feet sometimes, he gets a bit flustered.
18:12But he had a terrific day.
18:14And the Chelsea players, I'm sure, will be thanking him in there today.
18:16Just going back to Calvert-Lewin, if he heads out either side of Sanchez,
18:19he's got to force Sanchez to make a save.
18:21Some Leeds United fans are round by us with their head in their hands
18:23thinking, he's got to score there.
18:25Is that what might cost him a place in the World Cup?
18:28Yeah, the inconsistency, yeah.
18:30I mean, when he's on it, he scores that, doesn't he?
18:33Because he can be a handful, can't he?
18:34He is a handful.
18:35And he leads the line well.
18:36And one of his strengths is his aerial ability.
18:38And that's what he craves, crosses.
18:40He won't sleep tonight thinking about that.
18:43For a man of his quality in the air,
18:44that was a really, really poor effort.
18:47I want to ask you something, Dan,
18:48that's creeping into our game.
18:50And that is goalkeepers going down,
18:52players going down to get treatment.
18:54Because just at that moment,
18:55where Robert Sanchez went down and got treatment,
18:57something went on here pitch side with Ethan Ampadu
19:00and a few of the Chelsea players as well.
19:01Did that just break up that little bit of momentum for you?
19:03I actually thought it did.
19:05I thought Leeds were having their best spell in the game.
19:07I thought it did stop that momentum
19:10and confidence that they were building.
19:12I can't blame the Chelsea staff
19:14and the players for doing it
19:16because the law is there.
19:18Well, there isn't a law there that stops it.
19:20I don't like it.
19:22I don't think it's...
19:23Does it need clamping down?
19:24It does need clamping down.
19:25Something needs to be done
19:26because it was an obvious tactical stoppage,
19:29you know, so we could get information onto the players.
19:32I don't blame the goalkeeper.
19:33Other teams have done it.
19:34Other teams will do it before now
19:35and the end of the season.
19:36You need to either make the player go off,
19:40but that's really unlikely to happen with a goalkeeper,
19:42but one of the outfield players has to come off.
19:45That's all you can do.
19:46You can't not stop the game
19:48because it might be a genuine injury.
19:50You can't.
19:51So are you thinking law as opposed to stronger refereeing?
19:55I don't know what a referee can do
19:56because if the player is saying I'm genuinely injured,
19:58he can't risk him saying no, you're not.
20:01He can't be the judge and jury.
20:02I think you just have to make one of the outfield players go off.
20:06So even if you do have that tactical stop,
20:08maybe also you could say none of the players on the pitch
20:10are allowed to talk to the staff
20:12while the goalkeeper is getting treatment.
20:14That might be an easier option.
20:15I also can't believe I'm asking this question
20:17about hair pulling in the game as well
20:18because Manchester United fans online this evening
20:21are making the point that Sandro Martinez
20:23was sent off on that hair pull on Cormac Calvalluin
20:26and then you've got the same thing happening today
20:28or was there more in the Martinez one than this one?
20:30No, I think they were both accidental.
20:34I don't think there was any malice or violent conduct in either.
20:39It's not something I've experienced myself very often.
20:43I thought today was a great show of common sense by the officials.
20:46I was fortunate enough to have the bar in my ear.
20:49They got to the conclusion really quickly.
20:52What did they say?
20:53They said he had an open palm on the back of his head
20:55and as he pulled it away, thinks he's caught his hair.
20:57No bad intent, whatever.
21:00Not exactly those words, but more or less.
21:02And I think Martinez was the same.
21:03I think he's just understanding the game.
21:06I thought today they showed they got the right decision.
21:10They did it quickly and showed common sense.
21:13Just unfortunately the United situation
21:15for some reason they didn't see that.
21:17I thought it was a mistake
21:18and they both should have had the same conclusion
21:20as what happened today.
21:20In terms of Chelsea, they showed fight determination.
21:25They won the second balls.
21:27Where was that fight last week?
21:29And what's the difference?
21:30Was it down to the fact that the players simply
21:33did not want to play for Liam Rossini?
21:34I hate to be blunt, but I've got to ask that question.
21:36I think sometimes it takes a run of form
21:38where it's really, really bad and the criticism
21:41gets really high, you know, gets bigger by the week.
21:45For players to come together, maybe have a chat and go,
21:47come on, we've got to do something.
21:49I don't think you necessarily wouldn't have got that reaction
21:52if Rossini was in charge today.
21:54I don't think it's all on the manager
21:55because players have to take responsibility,
21:57but these are top players.
21:58You know, the winning second balls
22:00and closing people down and winning tackles and stuff.
22:03That's a prerequisite of being a footballer.
22:05That's football.
22:05You shouldn't be thankful for it.
22:07Where's it been?
22:07Why?
22:09Maybe not enough leaders in the group.
22:11Maybe too many sulkers, young players up and down.
22:13The manager's obviously struggled with getting his message across.
22:18Maybe they didn't like the tactics.
22:19One thing, as a player sometimes, a group of players,
22:22if you go on a pitch
22:22and you're not sure exactly what you're doing
22:25and the tactics don't feel right,
22:26it can look like you're not trying.
22:28You're just not sure on what you're doing.
22:30I think, to be blunt, some of those players
22:35probably have had words with each other this week,
22:38had a look in the mirror and thought,
22:39we've got to do better.
22:40And you saw that.
22:41I thought Pedro Neto was a great example of that
22:42because his defensive work today, for someone we, you know,
22:45normally just see as forward play
22:48and think about him as a creative force.
22:49His defensive play today was really good.
22:51OK, Danny, for the moment, thank you very much, Andy.
22:53So Chelsea will play Manchester City in the final.
22:56Let's show you the best of yesterday's first semi-final,
22:58Manchester City against Southampton.
23:07It's a good save, that.
23:13Tries to doom it the near-post.
23:19Tom Fellowes sticking close to Jeremy Doku.
23:24That's Curling!
23:25Oh, it was not far away.
23:28Reinder's got a bit of bend on this.
23:30You can tell from the keeper's movement that he's worried.
23:35It's now attack against defence.
23:37Savinho.
23:38Ryan Cherky.
23:40Turning Sienza.
23:42Savinho bending, pushed away well by Perez.
23:46Jeremy Doku.
23:48Oh, well done by Yanda.
23:52And it's Larry.
23:54And he's onside, Followes, but...
23:57Well done, James Trafford.
24:00Good save by Perez here.
24:02And was a good save.
24:08Shea Charles was dispossessed.
24:11Nico Gonzalez got it into Cherky.
24:13Here's the chance.
24:15Good save by Perez.
24:16Gonzalez again.
24:18Great block by Charles.
24:20And wide of the post.
24:24From Reinders.
24:26Again, what brilliant defending.
24:28And good goalkeeping from Perez there.
24:30That's straight at him, but he still has to keep that out.
24:32And I know they're appealing for handball,
24:34but his arms tucked behind him,
24:36so no way is that going to be overturned at all.
24:38And then Reinders forces the shot wide.
24:45Well won by Kasper Yanda.
24:4812 minutes to play.
24:50Just imagine if they nick a goal.
24:52Sienza moves it inside.
24:54Matsuki.
24:55And curling.
24:56What a strike!
24:59Finn Azaz may just have scored the goal of his life for Southampton.
25:08Brilliant tackle on the halfway line.
25:10And then all of a sudden they go down the left.
25:14And they work it so, so well.
25:17And you're thinking, can he have a shot from there?
25:18The way he turns.
25:20No other thought.
25:22Then head down.
25:23Curling into the corner.
25:24He doesn't even have a look.
25:25He knows exactly where he is.
25:27The keeper's got no chance.
25:29It's a brilliant finish.
25:37Here's Doku.
25:40Doku.
25:41Deflection!
25:47All square at Wembley.
25:49Jeremy Doku.
25:51Keeps the travel dream alive.
25:54And they've had no such luck up until now.
25:56Just when they needed it most.
25:58The little deflection.
26:02Ah, it's cruel on James Green.
26:07Shea Charles.
26:08And he's found Kyle Lahren.
26:11Lahren.
26:13And chipped over by Trafford.
26:16Matsuki's effort.
26:18Taking no chances, James Trafford.
26:20Goodness me, this game in the last 10 or 15 minutes.
26:23It's been incredible.
26:28Oh!
26:29What a strike!
26:34Nico Gonzalez!
26:37Unstoppable!
26:39Manchester City fell behind with 12 minutes to go.
26:44With three minutes to go there in front.
26:45A magnificent strike from Nico Gonzalez.
26:50Well, this Manchester team and the Manchester City manager were under huge pressure when that finish as goals in.
26:57But what a reaction from Manchester City.
27:02On the cusp of stoppage time.
27:04Taken out of Trafford's gloves but it was a good defensive header.
27:08And Peretz as Carmine hasn't got there.
27:12And Wembley beckons here in the FA Cup final for Manchester City.
27:17As Doku finds Savino and it's off the line by Matsuki.
27:22Goodness me, this game's got over the last 20 minutes.
27:25It's chaos.
27:29I think we are very close in the first half then on a transition.
27:32We are very close in the second half right at the very start.
27:36Then went up I think at 81, 82 and yeah, then it is what it is.
27:40In the end, then it is for us to bring those games over the line.
27:43We didn't manage to do so today.
27:44So it was a slight bit missing but I think overall good performance.
27:48This club never, never, ever in this country and since, I don't know, UK was born.
27:57So no team has made four finals in a row.
28:00So imagine now a start next season and one team will be four finals in a row.
28:04So it's something extraordinary.
28:06Loads of European football coming up this week on the BBC.
