Man City have advanced to the FA Cup semi-final after beating Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley courtesy of a late Bernardo Silva goal but the Blues were the better team on the day and will feel that they should have won the match.
The Blues had plenty of big chances throughout the 90 minutes with the best of them falling to Nicolas Jackson. The striker failed to take his opportunities and there was one period of play in the second half that cost Chelsea a place in the FA Cup final.
Just after the halftime break, Jackson was sent through on goal but had his shot saved by Ortega Moreno; seconds later, the 22-year-old latched on to a Cole Palmer cross and failed to convert that as well.
These were two major chances for Chelsea and their fans may look back at those seconds as the moment they threw away their spot in the FA Cup final.
