    Man City Beats Chelsea in FA Cup Final After 1 in 100 Antoine Semenyo Goal
    In its 155-year history the FA Cup final can rarely have been won by a more audacious goal. Manchester City beat Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley Stadium on Saturday thanks to a moment of magic from Antoine Semenyo. The forward brought to life a final that had produced little in the way of chances or excitement with a spectacular back-heeled goal in the second half. Running onto a cross from Erling Haaland in the 72nd minute, Semenyo flicked his heel at the ball and directed it low into the far corner past diving Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. "It has happened a couple of times in training, it happened perfectly today. ... It came straight to me and I had to improvise myself as quickly as I can," Semenyo told the BBC. "It is a good finish, I cant lie." Chelsea interim coach Calum McFarlane agreed. "For me its a one in 100 goal," he said. "For me, no, theres not much more you can do to defend it." Victory kept City in the hunt for a domestic trophy treble, having already won the English League Cup. Pep Guardiolas team is also second in the Premier League, two points behind Arsenal with two rounds to go. With an important game against Bournemouth on Tuesday, Guardiola said he would not allow his players "even one beer" in celebration. This was Guardiolas 17th major trophy in 10 years at City and his 35th in his career overall. City has won the Cup eight times and moved level with Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham as equal third on the all-time winners' list. Defeat means Chelsea will end the season trophyless a year after being crowned Club World Cup champion in what has been a crisis-ridden campaign. After firing two coaches since the turn of the year, Chelsea went into the final with a novice on the sideline in McFarlane, a former youth coach taking charge of only his seventh first team game. The turmoil at Chelsea led to supporters staging a protest against its American owners outside the stadium before kickoff. In that sense it was commendable that McFarlane was able to frustrate Guardiola for such long periods. That was until Semenyo's match-winning moment. The Ghana international joined City from Bournemouth only in January and made an immediate impact scoring 10 goals and helping the team to two trophies. "As a kid I have always wanted to be playing for the top teams. It took a long time to get there, but I am grateful," Semenyo said. "The first thing he (Guardiola) said to me when I came was, Dont change your game ... he still wants me to be me, still create a bit of chaos." Fourth straight final After the final whistle City fans sang the club anthem "Blue Moon" loudly, and cheered wildly as Bernardo Silva and John Stones lifted the famous trophy. Both players are leaving at the end of the season. "Being able to lift another trophy at Wembley, where we have played so many times, is such a special feeling, one I never take for granted," Bernardo said. "To do so as captain makes this one of the best days of my career." Triumph for City came after back-to-back losses in the final in the previous two years. This was the record fourth year in a row it reached the final, having last won it in 2023. Chelsea has lost its last four FA Cup finals, tying Leicester's record for consecutive losses. Arsenal has won soccer's oldest knockout competition a record 14 times. Manchester United was second with 13. Guardiola was congratulated by Prince William as he went to collect his winners' medal. Afterwards the City manager gazed around Wembley at the celebrating fans. There has been growing speculation that this could be his final season at City; he has yet to confirm his plans. "The future is bright," Guardiola said. "I know the guys, I know how they feel ... next year we will be there, we will be better next season." Reporting by The Associated Press.

    How ECS won second straight TSSAA girls lacrosse state championship
    Evangelical Christian School lacrosse defended its TSSAA Division II-A girls state championship by rallying to beat University School of Nashville 12-11 in overtime on May 16 at Ravenwood.ECS has won the TSSAA's first two DII-A championships. The 2025 championship came in the first year the high school association had sanctioned the sport. ECS defeated USN 21-8 in 2025."We felt a lot of pressure because this was the same team, same time last year we had to beat," said sophomore Emily Hill, who scored the winning goal 44 seconds into overtime. "We knew they had it out for us, but we knew that we could do it again because we worked so hard for this."Evangelical Christian (10-4) trailed 8-5 at the half before outscoring USN (10-8) 4-0 in the third quarter to take a 9-8 lead. USN went back up 10-8 in the topsy-turvy game before ECS scored two goals, the second by Hill, which made it 10-10.USN's Elizabeth Crane scored with 1:49 left in regulation to tie the score at 11-11 and send the game into overtime.ECS earned the first possession in overtime, but the Eagles came out a bit overzealous on offense. They needed to settle down, and it was Hill, an underclassman, who did that before scoring the winning sudden-death goal.More: How Ensworth won TSSAA girls lacrosse state title, ending Harpeth Hall's dominance"With the way this game had gone we felt the first team to get possession in overtime would win, so that was our main objective, just get the ball off the draw, try to be smart on offense, don't take a charge, don't force anything," ECS coach Meritaylor Pickle said. "We almost did come up short on the possession, but thankfully enough, one of our sophomores (Hill), level-headed, got the ball, rolled the crease, and ripped the shot in the back of the net."Hill's winning shot came after USN was called for a three-second violation."Honestly, we said a prayer before we went out for overtime and we knew that it was in God's hands," Hill said. "We just had to play our game, and we did that after we settled down at the start of overtime."Reach Mike Organ at 615-259-8021 or on X @MikeOrganWriter.
