Manchester City, still on course for Quadruple! The Citizens have reached the final of the FA Cup after narrowly winning Brighton 1 - 0 on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola's side were nowhere near their best, however, a largely undistinguished contest was settled by Gabriel Jesus' stooping header after only four minutes, converted from Kevin de Bruyne's perfect right-wing cross.

Manchester City will now play against either Watford or Wolverhampton Wanderers in the final on May 18 at Wembley.
