Arsenal will play London rival Chelsea in the FA Cup final on May 27 after beating Manchester City 2-1, following extra time, in the semi-final at Wembley on Sunday.

The Gunners had to come from behind after Sergio Aguero scored his 30th goal of the season for City in the 63rd minute, racing away on to a pass from Yaya Toure.

Spanish international Nacho Monreal equalised nine minutes later, from a cross by Arsenal’s other wing back Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

In the 11th minute of extra time, just after Aguero was taken off, Alexis Sanchez scored the winner.

Manchester City introduced Nigeria’s Kelechi Iheanacho as 105th minute substitute for Raheem Sterling but compatriot, Alex Iwobi, didn’t leave the Arsenal bench.
