It was a pulsating semi-final but, for City, it was also laced with controversy and they
Michal Neuvirth Authentic Jersey left Wembley with a smouldering sense of injustice because of the incident, five minutes before half-time, when Agüero’s goal was ruled out because of a trigger-happy linesman. Leroy Sané’s cross had never strayed out of play and, though it was a matter of millimetres, the television replays confirmed it was wrong for the linesman to raise his flag. Agüero’s shot was behind the goal-line when Petr Cech scrambled it away. Raheem Sterling, who had replaced the injured David Silva, made sure from the rebound before City’s celebrations were cut short. Arsène Wenger hails Arsenal’s mental strength after reaching FA Cup final Read more That was not the only contentious incident of a spiky match and City’s complaints will also take in another moment in the first half when Agüero went down in the penalty area with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in close proximity. Arsenal will argue, in turn, they could have had a penalty of their own after Sánchez claimed he had been impeded by Jesús Navas. It was a difficult afternoon for the officials and Silva was

Silva had taken a whack from Gabriel and, without the Spaniard, City lost their early momentum. It was not until the early part of the second half, however, that Arsenal had their first sustained period of pressure and the paradox was that was the period when Agüero opened the scoring. Arsenal’s vulnerability to quick, incisive counterattacks has undermined them all season and on this occasion it needed only one pass once Aaron Ramsey had lost the ball to Touré close to the City penalty area. Touré, such a brilliant big-game player, aimed the ball 40 yards and Agüero had enough speed to get away from Monreal. Cech was

That, however, is not the way Guardiola’s side operate and Arsenal, after a cautious first half, had already started to play with less restraint. Close analysis of their new 3-4-2-1 system should also note it was one wing-back who created the equaliser and another who scored it. Oxlade-Chamberlain’s cross created the danger and Monreal, two years since his last Arsenal goal, fired in a low volley. If Cech had looked slightly ponderous for Agüero’s goal, it was a crucial save from the goalkeeper to turn Touré’s shot against the post. Yet Danny Welbeck’s arrival, as a replacement for Olivier Giroud, had also given Arsenal new impetus in attack. Welbeck applied a slight touch before Sánchez’s winner, turning the ball on after Laurent Koscielny had headed Mesut ?zil’s free-kick across a congested penalty area. Three times in a row a player in red and white got to the ball ahead of anyone in blue – and on the third occasion it
