      Man City 1 Chelsea 0: Bernardo Silva goes from Champions League villain to FA Cup hero as he makes up for penalty miss

      by

      ZERO-TO-HERO Bernardo Silva roared “make mine a Double instead” with a late winner for jaded Manchester City.Silva’s embarrassing penalty had set City on the road to the agonising Champions League defeat on spot-kicks by Real Madrid that ended their dreams of back-to-back Trebles.Bernardo Silva lit up Wembley with his 84th-minute goalCredit: GettyThe Portuguese star kept his composure to find the back of the netCredit: GettyIt is more Wembley heartache for ChelseaCredit: ReutersBut the Portugal international put himself on the road to redemption by delivering the decisive moment for Pep Guardiola’s ragged-looking team.Despite looking physically and emotionally drained by their midweek exertions, City found a way to win and may well lift the Premier League trophy again before being back here next month for the final.Chelsea suffered yet more Wembley agony after losing the Carabao Cup final to Liverpool in February in the dying minutes of extra-time.That makes it ten defeats in their last 13 since the reopening of the national stadium. But Mauricio Pochettino’s team only had themselves to blame after being the better side for most of the game.The dark Blues should have been home and hosed before the hour.But striker Nicolas Jackson was guilty of failing to convert at least four really good chances.The Senegal striker was lively throughout only for his finishing to let him down again.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERIn the first half, he was played through by Enzo Fernandez and went around City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, only to decide not to shoot with his left and then fail to find a team-mate with a pass with his right.After the break, he found himself one-on-one with Ortega again. Fans convinced Phil Foden hasn’t aged a day as incredible video of 10-year-old Man City star resurfaces He forced a decent save but moments later, when found by a Cole Palmer cross, he sent a close-range header straight at the City goalkeeper.Jackson was by far the most culpable, but Chelsea wasted other chances, too.As for City, Phil Foden had their best opportunities before Silva’s late heroics. In the first half, he ran on to Kevin De Bruyne’s brilliant pass and past Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic but was unable to put a shot on target with his weaker right foot from a tight angle.In the second half, he should probably have done better with his favoured left peg, rather than give Petrovic the opportunity to make a decent enough stop.Marc Cucurella could not prevent the ball flying inCredit: GettyGuardiola sent on Jeremy Doku in search of inspiration and the Belgian was denied by Petrovic’s right leg.With time running out, Doku played his part in the winner. He found De Bruyne whose attempted cutback from the byline was palmed away by Petrovic.  But the ball only went to Silva. After hitting that penalty straight into the grateful arms of Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, he saw his shot deflected into the back of the net off Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella.READ MORE SUN STORIESPochettino’s side were given eight minutes of stoppage time to find an equaliser.But Jackson and co could have played all night and not scored.Nicolas Jackson missed a flurry of chances at WembleyCredit: GettyMauricio Pochettino looked on frustrated in the dugoutCredit: APPhil Foden couldn’t squeeze in after rounding Djordje PetrovicCredit: AFPJack Grealish was not happy with this challenge from Moises CaicedoCredit: Reuters More

      Copy linkCopiedNumbers to back it
      And the numbers back up what Pep Guardiola has said.
      Palmer’s four goals earlier this week taking him to 20 in the league this season – joint with former team-mate Erling Haaland. And in less shots, too.
      As well as the goals, he’s contributed 9 assists to Haaland’s five, with more than 3x the touches and passes of the Norwegian.

      Copy linkCopiedCole reality
      Pep Guardiola admits Cole Palmer has been the “decisive player of the season” after being forced to sell him to Chelsea.
      But the Manchester City boss insists the England midfielder asked to leave the Etihad for TWO YEARS before he finally got his £40million move to Stamford Bridge last summer.
      And Guardiola confessed: “He said he wanted to leave. What could we do? He was asking for two seasons to leave and I said, ‘No, stay’.
      “I also said in pre-season he should stay because Riyad Mahrez had gone, but he said, ‘No, I want to leave’.
      “So after two seasons what could I say?
      “Playing at his current level is exceptional. He is an incredible threat. Everyone knows it.”

      Copy linkCopiedSo far this season
      These two have met twice already in the Premier League this season.
      And both games finished all square.
      A sensational game at Stamford Bridge ended 4-4 when Cole Palmer scored a late, late penalty.
      While Rodri bagged an 83rd minute equaliser when the sides met at the Etihad in February.
      Copy linkCopiedPoch preview
      Mauricio Pochettino isn’t expecting a wounded animal when City face his Chelsea side this evening.
      He said: “From our point of view, we are going to compete against Manchester City. If you ask me about their situation, I can give my opinion, but we are not talking about that. We are going to compete against them.
      “Today we were preparing, doing meetings, about the Manchester City that played against Real Madrid, that played against us in the Premier League.
      “We are not talking about playing one or playing another. For me, the strength of Manchester City is that they keep the same idea and the same philosophy.”

I can only do as well as I can do. “I know I need to improve in some areas and I think I’m on the right path and I can get to that stage one day.”He believes comparing him to Grealish has some validity – but for painful as well as a flattering reasons.Most read in FA CupThe former Carlisle loanee said: “I can kind of see it because we both play in a similar way and we both get fouled a lot. “But we’re obviously two different players and he’s doing his thing now.

      Ex-footballer dubbed Mosquito, 42, had trial with Treble-winning Man Utd only to KO them from cup with Coventry goals

      by

      MICHAEL MIFSUD has a long history with Manchester United.The former striker went from being on trial at Old Trafford to scoring twice against them in a famous Coventry victory within eight years.Michael Mifsud celebrates the first of his memorable goals in Coventry’s 2-0 League Cup win at Old Trafford 17 years agoCredit: GettyMifsud trained with Paul Scholes and David BeckhamCredit: PA:Press AssociationIn 1999, as one of the hottest prospects in Maltese football, the teenager was invited to train alongside United’s Treble-winning stars at The Cliff — their old complex.And while he was unable to sign a permanent contract with Malta not in the European Union at the time, those two weeks helped shape his career.Mifsud, 42, told SunSport: “I trained with the first-team. Gary Neville, David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Roy Keane were all there, the legends.“Just entering the dressing room, seeing all the kits, you’re getting changed with Beckham’s boots next to you, it was surreal.

I was so grateful and lucky to achieve what I did. We were like a family, so it was a real team effort.“The game and my performance was fantastic. I could have scored a hat-trick with my backheel hitting the post, but my second goal was so nice.“I went to celebrate with our fans, they were behind the goal and it was a really special feeling.“All of Malta were behind me. Half of Malta supports United but on the day they were supporting me.
