Arsenal are through to the English F.A Cup final after Alexis
Sanchez's extra time goal following a defensive mix up in Man City's
penalty box ensured Arsene Wenger's men will face Chelsea in a mouth
watering London derby final.
Arsenal's Koschielny and Man
City substitute, Raheem Sterling had goals ruled out in the first-half
for offside, but that didn't deter Pep Guardiola's men as Sergio Aguero
at the half hour mark put his side into the lead after a legendary
assist from Ivory Coast legend Yaya Toure.
It took quite
some time before Arsenal responded, with gunners left-back Nacho Monreal
slashing in a right footed cross following a cross from the right wing
in the 70th minute. Both teams couldn't muster a win before the end of
normal time and in the 101th minute of extra-time- Arsene Wenger showed
that if he were to leave the club, he will surely leave A HERO!.
Mesut
Ozil had a free-kick, it got headed down by Koscielny. Danny Welbeck
tried to clear it off but fluffed his lines, Gael Clichy, former Arsenal
player, tried too, but missed.
Then the moment of glory came,
as star man Alexis Sanchez, acted quicker than Man City captain Vincent
Kompany, taking the ball off his toes with his first touch, before he
smashed the ball into the net with his second touch.
Arsenal
will now face Chelsea in the F.A Cup final, and maybe, just
maybe...Arsene Wenger, coach of Arsenal since 1996 might leave the club
on a high.....
