Mancheser City booked its spot in the final of the FA Cup after edging Brighton 1-0 on Saturday at Wembley Stadium in the first semifinal. Without Sergio Aguero due to injury, Gabriel Jesus started up top and delivered just four minutes in as Pep Guardiola's team kept its title dream alive. City already won the League Cup, is the favorite to win the Premier League and will play in the Champions League quarterfinals this upcoming week.
City will face Watford for the FA Cup final on May 18 at Wembley Stadium.
The winning goal from Jesus came off a lovely cross from Kevin de Bruyne, with the Brazilian diving low to head home. Take a look:

Deulofeu then scored this dramatic winner in the 104th minute:
