Arsenal-Manchester City FA Cup 2017 score, goal highlights: Sanchez scores extra time winner
It will be Chelsea vs. Arsenal in the May 27 final.
Next month's FA Cup final will be a London derby. Arsenal came from behind to beat Manchester City 2-1 on Sunday in the semifinals, advancing to the May 27 final against Chelsea, who beat Tottenham on Saturday. The Gunners went down in the second half thanks to a goal from City's Sergio Aguero, but responded through Nacho Monreal to force extra time, where Alexis Sanchez poked one home for the win on 101 minutes.
City had chance after chance throughout the match, twice hitting the frame of goal, as Arsenal dug deep to not concede, managing to keep its cup hopes alive.
Through the first hour of the match at Wembley, both teams threatened but neither could find the breakthrough. But it finally came in the 62nd minute thanks to Aguero, who was sent through by Yaya Toure:

The match gives Arsenal fans something to be excited about in one of its most disappointing seasons in decades. Sitting seventh in the Premier League and getting demolished by Bayern Munich in the Champions League round of 16, the Gunners now have a chance at some major hardware, aiming for its third FA Cup title in the last four years.
