Manchester City beat Championship club Southampton 2-1 with a late goal from Nico Gonzalez to book a place in an unprecedented fourth successive FA Cup final and keep alive hopes of a domestic treble.
Southampton, who upset Arsenal in the quarter-finals, looked set to continue their dream run when Finn Azaz scored a stunning shot from distance in the 79th minute with James Trafford having little chance of stopping.
But in what was a tense second half of the semi-final, Jeremy Doku erased Southampton’s lead four minutes later when he worked the ball onto his right foot before unleashing a shot from the edge of the penalty area that found the net via James Bree.
Gonzalez struck a rocket from 20 yards out in the 87th minute and City, who won the League Cup earlier this season and are neck-and-neck with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League, held on for several minutes for victory in a breathless final.
City will meet the winner of Sunday’s semi-final between Chelsea and Leeds United in the May 16 final at Wembley.
