Chelsea learn potential FA Cup final opponent ahead of huge Crystal Palace semi-final clash

One of Chelsea or Crystal Palace will face Liverpool in the final of the FA Cup at Wembley on May 14. It comes after the Reds managed to overcome Manchester City in a whirlwind first half display.

Centre-back Ibrahima Konate opened the scoring from a corner kick, before Sadio Mane managed to pounce on a mistake from City goalkeeper Zack Steffen to bundle the ball home. The Senegalese winger capped off a dream opening half for his side, finishing coolly from inside the box to give his side a three-goal buffer.

Pep Guardiola’s side responded quickly after the break, Jack Grealish scoring less than two minutes into the half. It took until the late moments to pull another back as Bernardo Silva scored a repeat of the earlier finish, but it wasn't enough as the game ended 3-2 to Liverpool.
