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 semifinal at Wembley on Sunday.
Arsenal 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.
Meanwhile on Saturday, Chelsea booked its place in the final with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
Willian put Chelsea ahead early in the semi-final before Harry Kane's equaliser and the Brazilian netted again with a penalty, only to see Dele Alli draw Tottenham level.
Eden Hazard came off the bench to restore Chelsea’s lead and Nemanja Matic’s thunderous strike ensured the Premier League leader a spot in the summit clash.
