Semenyo strikes as Man City beat Chelsea 1-0 to win FA Cup
LONDON: Manchester City won the FA Cup on Saturday, beating Chelsea 1-0 in the final with a deftly finished 72nd-minute goal from Antoine Semenyo to complete an English cup double. Ghana’s Semenyo turned and back-heeled the ball past Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez from an Erling Haaland cross. The goal sparked what had been a cautious game into life with both sides having chances in the last 20 minutes, Rayan Cherki forcing a fine save from Sanchez and teammate Matheus Nunes hitting the post. City captain Bernardo Silva, who is leaving the club at the end of the season, described the victory as “very special ... it’s really nice to finish this way and maybe we can still have a small dream that we can still fight for the Premier League.” Pep Guardiola’s City trail leaders Arsenal by two points in the title race going into the last two games of the season. “It’s just special to me in my last season to give them another trophy,” Portugal midfielder Silva said in a pitchside TV interview. “In the beginning of the second half it was really tough for us and they put us under a lot of pressure and made it very difficult.” It was City’s eighth FA Cup triumph and followed victory in the League Cup in March. But it was a seventh domestic cup final defeat in a row for Chelsea, who had looked to the showpiece match for some relief after a turbulent season and two managerial changes. Enzo Fernandez, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap all had chances to score for Chelsea in what for long periods was an even, if unexciting, clash. But the club’s hopes of European football next season now look very slim, while their American BlueCo.
Salah urges Liverpool to revive ‘heavy metal’ football after Villa defeat
LONDON: Mohamed Salah issued a rallying cry for Liverpool to rediscover their attacking identity on Saturday after a painful 4-2 defeat by Aston Villa left Champions League qualification hanging in the balance. Villa moved into fourth place with 62 points from 37 games to seal Champions League qualification by leapfrogging their opponents, who have 59 points. Egyptian forward Salah, who is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, expressed his frustration at the club’s inconsistent campaign and called for a return to the aggressive style that brought previous success. “I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that,” Salah wrote on X.
Cantona on the couch: footballer explores ‘demons’ in raw new film
CANNES: French football legend Eric Cantona told AFP he’s been doing therapy since age 20 but still struggles with his “demons,” which he lays bare in a raw new documentary about his life. One of the beautiful game’s most colorful characters agreed to open up about his famously explosive and fragile ego in “Cantona” which is one of two soccer documentaries premiering at the Cannes Film Festival this week. The 115-minute film by British directors David Tryhorn and Ben Nicholas features extensive interviews with the footballer-turned-actor in what sometimes resembles an extended session of psychoanalysis. Insight from former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and one-time teammate David Beckham, as well as a gripping soundtrack from one half of 1990s dance music legends Orbital, make it a compelling watch. “I’m constantly trying to figure out who I am, and that’s why I do my best to act on instinct as much as possible,” Cantona told AFP on Saturday. “Of course, there are times when things get a bit out of hand, but that’s part of life and I accept it.” Has therapy helped? “I’ve done a lot ... I started at 20 and I’ve continued at different moments.
