Manchester City secured their place in the 2026 FA Cup Final with a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Southampton at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, 25 April 2026, as Jeremy Doku’s 82nd-minute goal and Nico Gonzalez’s stunning 87th-minute strike completed an extraordinary turnaround after Finn Azaz had given Southampton a shock lead in the 79th minute. The result put City into the FA Cup Final to face Chelsea and gave Pep Guardiola’s side their eighth consecutive FA Cup semi-final appearance in the most dramatic possible circumstances.
Southampton, the Championship club who had stunned Premier League leaders Arsenal 2-1 in the quarter-finals, produced a performance of enormous courage and quality throughout the match before Azaz’s 79th-minute goal appeared to deliver one of Wembley’s great FA Cup upsets. The south coast club, who are the 1976 FA Cup winners and one of football’s most beloved underdogs in recent cup history, came within eleven minutes of a famous final appearance before City’s quality — a club also competing for the Premier League — and collective determination ultimately proved decisive.
Doku’s 82nd-minute goal reduced the deficit and completely changed the match’s psychology, and Nico Gonzalez’s 87th-minute thunderstrike — delivered with the composure and quality of a player performing at the absolute peak of his technical ability — completed one of the FA Cup semi-final’s most memorable Wembley finishes. Manchester City reached the FA Cup Final to face Chelsea in what was confirmed as the all-Premier League final at Wembley. Watch highlights on AllSportsZone.
