Antoine Semenyo becomes first Ghanaian to score in FA Cup final

The Black Stars attacker achieved the remarkable feat by scoring the winning goal in Manchester Citys 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

In a final that struggled to come alive for long periods, Semenyo produced the decisive moment of quality in the 72nd minute to settle the contest.

The Ghanaian forward met Erling Haalands cross with a clever first-time right-foot finish across Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez to hand Manchester City another major trophy under Pep Guardiola.

The goal not only secured FA Cup glory for City but also ensured Semenyo became the first Ghanaian to score in the final of the famous competition since its inception in 1871.

Semenyos impact since joining Manchester City from Bournemouth in January for 65 million has been immediate, with the forward quickly establishing himself as an important player in Guardiolas squad.

The FA Cup triumph also completed another domestic cup success for City after already lifting the Carabao Cup earlier in the season.
