Man City Edge Southampton, Zoom Into FA Cup Final

Manchester City have booked a place in the final of the FA Cup after defeating Southampton 2-1 on Saturday at Wembley.

Leo Scienza thought he had given Southampton a shock lead in the 12th minute, but his celebrations were cut short after the linesman intervened for offside.

However, after City failed to hit the back of the net with three shots in the space of six seconds, Azaz opened up his body and curled into the far corner from outside the box to stun the Premier League outfit.

That lead only lasted three minutes, though, as Jérémy Doku saw his shot deflect past Peretz off the outstretched leg of James Bree.

And City did not look back as Gonzalez thundered a long-range rocket into the top corner to break Southampton hearts.
