Rico Lewis scored after just 109 seconds to send Manchester City on their way to a third consecutive FA Cup final following a 2-0 defeat of Nottingham Forest at Wembley.

Josko Gvardiol extended City's advantage after 51 minutes before they rode their luck when Morgan Gibbs-White hit the crossbar, and then the post, as Forest attempted a comeback.

Taiwo Awoniyi struck the City woodwork for a third time for Forest with 10 minutes remaining.

But, Pep Guardiola's side survived to keep their sole hope of finishing the season with silverware alive.

City, who won the FA Cup in 2023 and finished runners-up last season, will now face Crystal Palace on May 17 following their 3-0 win against Aston Villa here a day earlier.
