Manchester City Reach Fa Cup Final After Forest Triumph

Manchester City secured their place in a third successive FA Cup final after a dominant 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at Wembley on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola's team, aiming to salvage a turbulent season, took the lead early through Rico Lewis before Josko Gvardiol doubled their advantage in the second half, ensuring a comfortable semi-final triumph.

City will now meet Crystal Palace at Wembley on May 17 after the Eagles beat Aston Villa 3-0 in the other semi-final. This will mark City's 14th appearance in an FA Cup final, offering them the chance to lift the trophy for the eighth time and the third since Guardiola took charge in 2016.

After losing to Manchester United in last years final, Guardiola will be keen to restore his side's silverware collection, especially as Liverpool's win over Tottenham earlier in the day officially ended City's reign as Premier League champions.

Forest, who remain two points behind third-placed Newcastle but with a game in hand, were no match for Citys slick and relentless pressing.
