FIFA has just announced VERY SAD NEWS for the Officials and Referees of the match between Manchester City vs Chelsea and this have cost them thier Job after not awarding a clear handball by Jack Grealish
Holders After an exciting back-and-forth Wembley semifinal match, Manchester City defeated Chelsea 1-0 on Saturday thanks to a late goal by Bernardo Silva to go to the FA Cup final.
After Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic parried a shot from former Blues player Kevin De Bruyne, Silva sidefooted the ball home in the 84th minute.
Opportunities existed for Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer, a 21-year-old former City striker who scored four goals against Everton in the league on Monday.

In the feature match on May 25, City will face either second-tier Coventry City or Manchester United, who play on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola’s team, which lost to Real Madrid on penalties in the Champions League quarterfinals over the week, found some solace in the outcome.
Silva said he was “extremely thrilled after a very trying week for all of us, for me personally.” Silva missed a penalty in the shootout versus Real.
“The beautiful thing about football is that if you play for Man City, you play every three days, which gives you a chance to exact some retribution and make amends after two or three days.”
With two points advantage over their rivals in the Premier League, City is still aiming for a double.
Chelsea wasted some of their finest opportunities, which was unfortunate since two months earlier, they lost the League Cup final to Liverpool thanks to a late goal in extra time.
Nicolas Jackson, a Senegalese, was an especially wasteful person.
In the ninth minute, he attempted the first shot on goal, but Stefan Ortega of City comfortably stopped it.
Jackson had two opportunities to score early in the second half, but Ortega blocked both of them.
Mykhailo Mudryk’s last-ditch free kick went over the crossbar, capping a terrible day for Chelsea and their manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Chelsea has now lost six of its last eight FA Cup matches against Manchester City, including one from the previous season’s third round.
