Rarely in its 155-year history has an FA Cup final been won by such an audacious goal.
Manchester City beat Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley Stadium on Saturday thanks to a moment of magic from Antoine Semenyo.
The forward scored a stunning backheel goal in the second half to breathe life into a final that had generated little chance or excitement.

In the 72nd minute, Semenho ran in a cross from Erling Haaland, flicked the ball with his heel, and fired it low over Chelsea goalkeeper Roberto Sanchez and into the far corner.
The victory kept City in the hunt for a treble of domestic trophies, having already won the English League Cup. Josep Guardiola’s side are in second place in the Premier League, two points behind Arsenal, with two matches remaining.
This is Guardiola’s 17th major trophy in 10 years at City and 35th overall in his career.
Campaign in crisis
City have won the cup eight times, putting them third on the list of all-time winners, alongside Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham.
The defeat means Chelsea end a crisis-hit season without a trophy, a year after being crowned Club World Cup champions.
