Antoine Semenyo might go down as one of the best-ever January signings ever after helping Manchester City to the FA Cup. The Ghanaian's genius second-half flick was enough to see off Chelsea and secure another Wembley victory for Pep Guardiola.

The celebrations almost started even earlier for City after Erling Haaland put the ball in the net midway through the first-half but the assistant's flag left him frustrated.

Semenyo should have given City the lead just moments into the second half but nodded over. The former Bournemouth man eventually got his goal though as he slotted home a sumptuous back-heel from Haaland's cross.

Chelsea had a number of penalty appeals throughout the game, with Joao Pedro and Jorrel Hato among those to appeal but neither the referee nor VAR thought them worthy of spot kicks.

Matheus Nunes could have finished the game but hit the post, meaning Semenyo's goal was all it took for City to secure the FA Cup once more.

But how did each player perform throughout the 90 minutes at Wembley? Mirror Football was there to take a close look...
