Semi-Final Highlights: Arsenal v Manchester City The FA Cup

It is Willian, who scores the Chelsea! Flick on and it is in the

net. Harry Kane, who else? Son slid in. Penalty. Willian to put Chelsea

in front, and he does. Erickson, delightful ball. What a great goal,

Dele Alli scores it! It is dangerous, it is Hazard, it is in!

Eden Hazard scores the Chelsea. Oh, brilliant goal! Na man you Matic

with a hammer by drive. -- Chelsea are into the 2017 FA Cup final.

And it promises to be another intriguing semifinal. Should Arsene

Wenger sign up from English football this season, will he do it with a

record seventh FA Cup title or can Pep Guardiola makes a more happy

Wembley memories and replicate Antonio Conte by making it to the FA

Cup final in his first season in England? Talking you to this one is

Martin Keown and Guy Mowbray. It is part two of a hard-hitting

Wembley weekend. It is a tie that is exactly how an FA Cup semifinal

should be, no occasion, no big Day out, for both clubs and bosses, it

is a means to an end, they really need this trophy. And Arsenal team

unchanged from last Monday's win at Middlesbrough, which means Arsene

Wenger has again gone with a back three, including 21-year-old Rob

Holding. Oxlade-Chamberlain and Nacho Monreal are they wide players

and with speculation linking Alexis Sanchez with a move to Manchester

City, today he will try and beat them at a ground where he has scored

five goals in four club and country games. For Manchester City, the same

11 as last weekend. Claudio Bravo keeping out his countryman. Yaya

Toure, David Silva and Vincent Kompany were all part of the team

that set things up for the modern-day City with their cup win

in 2011. Sanchez twists his way past De

Bruyne. Torre has to be quick. He finds

David Silva, who was too quick for Gabriel. City free kick. Better from

Arsenal, their best moment of the game. Ozil linking really well.

Gabriel just too eager to win the ball back. You can see what Pep

Guardiola thinks. Now it is Ozil. He is pulled to the

floor by Vincent Kompany. A free kick for Arsenal, a chance to get

the ball in for Giroud. He has done well there, Ozil, brilliant touch,

just takes it away from company. -- Vincent Kompany. Giroud beat him

that I'm but the flag is up. As Koscielny puts it in, it will count

for nothing. Some sections of the Arsenal crowd haven't realised it

yet. It is Giroud who heads it back in and the City defence comes up

brilliantly to catch Koscielny offside. Great finish, though.

Torre urged to shoot by some sections of the support.

Arsenal's defensive shape being stretched. Yaya Toure. Gets away

from Giroud. Aguero down as though tripped. And Craig Pawson could not

have had a better view and didn't think he was. It is a City throw.

Pep Guardiola has had his arms stretched out wide. Aguero has a

look back. Did he trip himself? I think maybe. It is minimal contact.

He did trip himself. Sane is coming in. Forster a little

wide by the pass. The flag is up, City have the ball in the net but

the flag is up to say the ball crossed the line earlier and the

ball went out of play. Steve Child is the man who has made that big

call. It was the cross from Sane that looks like it would come down

on the top of the net. The verdict is that the ball went out of play

and curled back in. We can't possibly see from that angle. We'll

take it that the linesman can see it. Here we go. No, I don't think it

has gone out. With the ball in the air like that, it is really hard to

tell if the whole of the ball has gone over the line. It certainly did

from Aguero and from Stirling. Arsenal have got away with one

there. Free kick Arsenal again. Swung in by

personal or Oxlade-Chamberlain. It is Oxlade-Chamberlain. And the

referee has a look about as Arsenal players run towards him. It was

Sanchez who went down. It is Claudio Bravo who gets on with the game

quickly. Sane goes down now and free kick to Arsenal in their own half of

the field. Just looking at Sanchez, he gets the wrong side of Jesus

Navas but goes down very easily. But look at that, it is a desperate hold

from Jesus Navas. Both arms around him.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, past De Bruyne. Sane to beat. Aaron Ramsey... Good

tackle by Yaya Toure, who has got Aguero going. Aguero will try and

stay in front of Monreal. And Aguero lists the ball over to score! --

lifts the ball over petty cheque to score. Manchester City's magnificent

Number Ten, 30 goals this season, the breakthrough goal in the FA Cup

semifinal and it all came about with Aaron Ramsey losing possession to

Yaya Toure. Aguero there, it is such a clever finish. The ball to him

from Yaya Toure. He is just too quick for Monreal. He waits for the

keeper to come and makes it look so easy. It is a stunning finish, just

as City looked like they were being outplayed by Arsenal. A Manchester

City breakaway and and Aguero finish of brilliance. It looked as though

he had touched the ball too far in front of himself and petty cheque

would get there. Was petty cheque a little bit slow? I think if he

doesn't come straightaway, he shouldn't really come at all. Once

it comes, he makes it so easy for Aguero to make his mind up -- once

he comes. Not so good with his left foot. That

was a scoop. Oxlade-Chamberlain. Really good

cross. Really good finish. Nacho Monreal has buried that! And Arsenal

are back in it. A man who almost never scores. Well,

Oxlade-Chamberlain, he has been outstanding on this right-hand side.

It is the other wingback, Monreal, playing more like a winger, who puts

it away. It says everything about Arsenal's system. It is a great

finish off his right foot. No City defender inside, really. The keeper

just can't stop it. Nacho Monreal's first goal in over two years. His

last one was a big one, it came in the FA Cup quarterfinal at

Manchester United. What a tie we have got are now. In response to the

City fans, Arsenal fans are doing their own Poznan. Even if nothing

happens in terms of goals now, we will be having another half an hour.

Yaya Toure held off Ramsey. Sterling has a chance to hit it. Yaya Toure

hits it. Off the upright with petty cheque beaten. It has bounced off

Navas and will be a goal kick. Yaya Toure very nearly won the title

City. It is an inspired shop from their and no right to get it on

target. It is a great save. Finger tip saved from Cech. It is in the

back of the net. Guardiola knows it as well. What a save.

Sane. De Bruyne gets it back to him. Vital stuff from Gabriel. Sane

finally getting away from Oxlade-Chamberlain. Gabriel there to

the rescue. No City presence in the six yard

box. Now the movement start and it is after bar! Thundering header. And

the follow-up shot from Navas is well wide. Fernandinho was close,

really, really close. He just gets over the top of Koscielny and it is

only the bar that stops him. Get some fantastically well, plenty of

power. Just can't get it down inside the goal.

I think that might signal extra time now. He's composing his words to his

players. Arsene Wenger likewise. The firm is up from Arsene Wenger, he's

more than pleased with what he has seen in the second half. Holding

daily ran that straight to De Bruyne. Now he has run into trouble.

And that will do it for the 90. Sergio Aguero is going to have to

summon up the energy for another half an hour. He gave City the lead

but the lead lasted less than ten minutes. Nacho Monreal, much more

unlikely goal-scorer than Sergio Aguero. It is one apiece from those

two. We are heading for extra time. We shouldn't be surprised the 90

minutes ended in a draw, that is five draws in the last ten meetings

between these teams. Are really determined Danny Welbeck.

Three to pull it back four. Welbeck buys himself some time. That was

blocked by Otamendi. Arsenal corner. He saw the freshness from Welbeck.

Pics Fernandinho's pocket. Arsenal lifted by that.

Ozil with the corner and headed just over the top by roadholding. What a

story that would have been for the youngster -- just over the top by

Holding. It is a great opportunity for him. Couldn't have done much

more with it other than score. Welbeck trying to get away from

Vincent Kompany and he has got a free kick, courtesy of the

Manchester City captain. We talked about Welbeck's extra mobility,

coming on for Giroud. It has won his team a free kick here. City have a

numerical advantage unhealthily so, with four Arsenal players staying

out of the box. I wonder if that is where the ball will go. Ozil does

put it into the middle. Welbeck missed it... Sanchez has scored.

Listen to the Arsenal roar around Wembley now. Manchester City caught

by a set piece, finished by Sanchez after Welbeck had passed up the

earlier chance. It seems every time the ball goes into the box at both

ends, defences are failing to deal with it. It is a mis-hit from

Welbeck, it lands with Sanchez and he is just too quick for Kompany. It

is through his legs. No chance but the goalkeeper.

-- for the goalkeeper. A smile creeps across the face of Arsene

Wenger. Much more than a smile in those seats. Arsenal have turned

this around. Manchester City have four more minutes of this half of

extra time and then another 15 to get back on track.

Ozil has saved his energy for the last moments of the game. Ramsey

once it just outside the box. Bravo stays back and Welbeck misses the

target. That could have seen Arsenal in the final Foreshore. Monreal is

going mad behind him because he feels he is favourite for this one.

When you are in this situation as a player, when you are behind, you

have to -- start to wonder, does something special have to come from

someone in the team? When you are winning it, every moment is painful,

trying to get through this period. Iheanacho has found De Bruyne and it

is three on two. De Bruyne finds Delph and delve has missed! It is

blocked, in fact. Quite a few City fans thought he had scored. It is a

fantastic break, lots of pace, the ball arrives with Delph and we are

waiting for it to hit the back of the net and Monreal gets the block.

Yaya Toure. Nobody going down the left for him. De Bruyne has found

some space. De Bruyne. There's no touch from the

keeper. It's a goal kick. It's a piece of brilliant skill, isn't it?

De Bruyne takes it early, but sit across the box. There's too much on

it for any Sidibe treble get in there. If they book their place in

the top final, Arsene Wenger's competition, if they can beat

Chelsea, if they hold on here first, they will have won the FA Cup seven

times, and outright record. It's Claudio Bravo up towards Delph, the

ball is won. Kompany is up at centre forward now. I don't think you've

got time to do anything. City are out of time, Arsenal are into the FA

Cup final. There will be no trophy for Pep Guardiola in his first

English campaign. There might well be another year for Arsene Wenger.

He's got the chance to win the FA Cup for an outright record seventh

time, and Martin Keown, his players, for him, have answered some

questions all right. Well, this has to be his greatest ever semifinal

victory, Arsene Wenger. The pressure he was under coming into this game,

his team have really responded to him. It's a new system and I feel in

the end of the team that deserves to win has won this. It's going to be

an all London FA Cup final and the blue, between Arsenal and Chelsea.

They've won it at Wembley, thanks to their man most likely, Alexis

Sanchez. Arsenal two, Manchester City one. The week produced a great

performance, not only technically but mentally as well -- I felt we

produced. We became stronger through the game. We deserved to win the

game. Can you describe emotions right now? Congratulations to Arsene

to play the final, we'll come back strong. When you look at the

performance and the result today, what's the biggest disappointment

and frustration for you right now? That we're not in the final. We

tried to do it and we created more chances again. So I don't have

regrets, we tried and did what we wanted to do and that's all. Am

delighted. We set out today to get back to a final. Our league form

hasn't been good enough and there's disappointment with how that's gone

and this is something we can hold on for the fans. It was important we

got to the final and give ourselves every opportunity to go and win. I'm

delighted for all the boys, the fans and the club. When your players are

completely focused you turn up for them and to date, they've shown they

accept the results, Win, lose or draw, but what you want on an

occasion like that, is a great performance. We were given another

example of Alexis Sanchez and his determination, the fact he never

gives up. How vital is he within this squad? How confident are you

that he may still be here next season? Well, I cannot answer that

question at the moment, but he's an animal, he's always ready to kill

the opponent and in games like that, you know, we never give up. He will

still be next year here -- he will still be here next year because he

has a contract until 2018 and hopefully we will manage to extend

him. When you look at this season, should you finish in the top four

and having been to the semifinal of an FA Cup, how would you assess that

in your first season in charge? The analysis of what we have done, you

are the journalist and you have to say how was your opinion, of course

the results show who you are and the results could be better, could be

worse, but at least we try to do fully our best to win. People

questioned is a lot recently and we went through some tough times, but

in difficult times you can be divided, it's natural inclination,

or you can be united and I think today we have shown the right

response, that we are capable to be together.

today we have shown the right response, that we are capable to be

together. The fans have all gone, it's just the lawn mowers behind us

here at Wembley, but I've managed to encourage Jermaine Jenas and Martin

Keown to stick around longer. It turned into a pretty decent game,

that semifinal, didn't it? It really did. The first half of the game was

pretty slow and Arsenal really wanted to maintain their defensive

unit. Didn't really come out, but didn't give up any chances in

fairness to them. It made it a tough watching the initial stages, but

boy, did it opened up in the second half and obviously in extra time.

Martin, we start with the first goal, the Aguero goal. From a

defensive point of view you might have an opinion on what happened

with that one? It was probably the only thing Monreal did wrong in the

match and the ball that was played over from Yaya Toure and Aguero, you

just don't catch when he through goal like that. Maybe Petr Cech

comes out a bit late and makes it easy for him, he lifts over the

goalkeeper and it was an outstanding finish and he has been part of the

huge success that Man City have had in recent years. It was looking like

maybe that was going to be at for Arsenal. They made up for it,

Monreal, it was a fantastic ball to him and he was all on his own at the

back post. He was and I saw along with the back three I thought

Oxlade-Chamberlain and Monreal were outstanding for Arsenal and it was

created by Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right-hand side. He was one of the

players who look like he wasn't prepared to accept Arsenal losing

today. I quite like that about its performance. Once he took it on the

right-hand side and whipped the ball in, I was very surprised to see how

well Monreal took it on the volley, on his weaker foot. But what a

finish. The final goal perhaps wasn't as spectacular, but it was

the most important one really, the one that won it for Arsenal, the

Alexis Sanchez one in the box. I'm sure Martigny will be delighted, but

is it what Arsenal deserved today? They rode their luck, but really

Sanchez reacted much quicker than anyone else. It was ironic he should

score the goal. Lots of talk about if you will find a new contracts.

Kompany couldn't quite get there, it was a mis-hit from well Baku I

thought made a major difference to the Arsenal performance but

Oxlade-Chamberlain, he came of age and finally Arsene Wenger, after all

these years, has found a position for that player because he was up

and down the right-hand side and Monreal as well, the other side,

he's the sort of man of the team and Jermaine talks about this, they

showed character today, Arsenal, there was spirit in the group. I'd

rather they win than finish fourth, if it creates proper players for the

future instead of it kind of breeds a bit of mediocrity if you are going

to finish fourth every season. They've played like winners today.

They were asked questions and they showed character against a very good

Man City team. They were more physical, David Silva bore the brunt

of it early on, a big blow for City. We were impressed by the physical

nature of Arsenal today? What I was more impressed about, with Arsene

Wenger and Arsenal, was for once they looked at it and didn't have

that arrogance about themselves which was we are Arsenal and we will

play exactly how we want to play, which is usually the 4-2- 3-1

formation. They changed the way they played and frustrated Manchester

City. If you put that alongside the fact they were very physical with

the likes of Aguero and David Silva, it made it tough for Manchester City

in the early stages of that game. They were just tough to beat today,

Arsenal. The performances they put in, it was more grit and

determination in the early stages, which sets it up for when the likes

of Welbeck came on to open it up and I thought they were the better side.

Everything went well for Arsenal today. You think about the goal that

was disallowed, it was very fortunate there. And the woodwork of

course. Silva going off injured, the tackle, and there was another one

later on on Aguero. It was getting quite tetchy. It was interesting

today, because you saw the Man City players around the referee, that

might have been Arsenal a few years ago but today, they roll their

sleeves up and showed character and that was one of the most pleasing

thing as an Arsenal supporter watching the game today. I'm sure

from Man City's point of view they might feel aggrieved. They obviously

had the woodwork twice, there was the goal that was disallowed. A big

question as to whether it was in or not? The ball was not out of play. I

think the referee linesman got it wrong. He was getting. The linesman

was in a good position so I thought he had to be right and we have to

favour the goal-scorers whenever there is any doubt. They can count

themselves unlucky, City. Sometimes it's in the hands of the gods, who

will win the FA Cup. We go to the final now, we'll Arsenal win it?

Cheers -- Chelsea were magnificent yesterday. Arsenal have shown they

will be happy to come back again because it was a good place today.

If Manchester City had gone ahead, with the disallowed goal? I'm not

sure, they were a goal down and they were able to respond, Arsenal. City,

where it would have given and confidences they were on top and had

Arsenal pending. It was tough for the linesman to call. The ball was

in the air. My initial thought was if it's gone past Petr Cech it must

have gone out because he is massive and he's got a huge reach, so I

don't know how he's not got his figure tips to it. But having looked

at the replays it looks like it's gone right along the crossbar. Could

have had a bearing but in terms of Arsenal they got themselves back

into have had a bearing but in terms of

Arsenal they got themselves back into it and won the game. They go

through to the final but there's plenty more football to come on the

BBC. and highlights of Manchester City

Women's Champions League semi-final feature on the Women's Football Show

straight after us. On Wednesday, 5Live will bring

you commentary And if you've missed any

27th but it won't be a north London derby for you but it will be an

exciting week to look forward to -- there will be back here on the 27th.

It was always going to be an exciting final, that was the beauty

of the semifinals we had. Chelsea, the way they set up, their

experience of being in this situation will make it a really

tough game for Arsenal but I have to say they massively impressed me in

the game against Manchester City today. They've shown me they can

play a different way so it sets up to be a brilliant final. You

mentioned experience of Chelsea but the manager, less experience of

winning trophies compared to Arsene Wenger, who is going for a record

seventh FA Cup. Does that come into play for a final? It's phenomenal,

the record Arsene Wenger has got. He's showed today he's not going to

give this away lightly. Chelsea go into the game is massive favourites,

when you can put Costa and Hazard one in the closing stages of the

match it shows the strength and depth that Chelsea have. I'm not

sure Arsenal can match that. They are in a new system. It's Bogut the

moment, this three at the back, so it's great for us tacticians to

discuss who's going to come out on top -- it's fashionable at the

moment. Sometimes your name is on it but it will be a cracking game and

Arsenal will be in better shape and more confident than they started

today's game, they finished really well but they came into this really,

it was a shock performance, their best of the season, so they need

something similar to that in the final. Neither team will let up in

terms of league business, it will be an interesting build-up to the final

and certainly an interesting competition on the pitch. I think

the league form leading up to the FA Cup final will be important, because

as Martin says, Arsenal changing their formation they need to get

used to playing it and playing it well and Charles -- Chelsea will

want to go into the final knowing they've probably won the league as

well. It's all about confidence going into the final. Yesterday was

a massive psychological advantage. Chelsea could come as champions,

looking to win the double and it's a huge incentive for their players.

It's difficult to back against Chelsea really. It's been a

fantastic weekend. Both semifinals have been brilliant.

We leave you with the best of the weekend.

COMMENTATOR: It's been a special season, now it's

the big boys. Matic wins with a hammer of a drive. Chelsea are into

the FA Cup semifinal. Monreal is back. Sanchez hasn't missed it, he's

scored. Arsenal are into the FA Cup final.
