  3. 'We were owed one' - Cushingpublished at 17:45 British Summer Time 14 April 2019

    Reaction: Man City reach Women's FA Cup final

    Man City boss Nick Cushing tells BBC One:

    "We deserved a last-minute winner because we lost to [late] winners against Chelsea before, so we were owed one.

    "I read the other day on social media that I'm under-achieving in this job... But we could go all the way to the end of this season without losing a [domestic] game.

    "It's unfortunate for the Chelsea player and the goalkeeper but I'm so proud of this team. I want this team to continue winning."

    Here's the moment Magdalena Eriksson's unfortunate own goal sent Manchester City into the Women's FA Cup final.

  5. Eriksson has been wonderful this year - Hayespublished at 17:39 British Summer Time 14 April 2019

    Reaction: Man City 1-0 Chelsea

    Chelsea boss Emma Hayes tells BBC One:

    "We controlled the game. We were confident throughout. We didn't get out of second gear most of the time.

    "To have lost that way, for a player [Magdalena Eriksson] who has been outstanding this year, I'm so gutted for her. It's a cruel way to lose a game.

    "There are a million games she has kept us in this year. I will remind her of how wonderful she's been this year.

    "We've been beaten by a cruel own goal. Probably that lack of goals has been the story of our season."

  6. 'A cruel end to the game'published at 17:36 British Summer Time 14 April 2019

    Reaction: Man City reach Women's FA Cup final

    England and Manchester City midfielder Jill Scott tells BBC One:

    "It was crazy. It's a cruel way for the game to end.

    "We're obviously ecstatic to be going to Wembley. It was an even game.

    "I thought we were destined for extra time but I'm so happy we've got the win."

    It's an extraordinary own goal that harshly settles the game. Chelsea's Magdalena Eriksson looks inconsolable after that uncharacteristic, late error.

    Several Man City players attempt to put an arm on her shoulder.

    But the hosts will celebrate this, as they beat Chelsea in the FA Cup for the first time.

    Man City and England skipper Steph Houghton is getting some treatment on the field and, as time ticks well beyond the originally-added three minutes, Chelsea's game is surely up.

    There’s got to be communication from the goalkeeper. Whether she shouted or not I don’t know.

    But there’s no Manchester City player near her.

    Magdalena Eriksson, own goal

    It's a late winner for Man City and it's a nightmare for Chelsea and their unlucky defender Magdalena Eriksson.

    Under no pressure at all from any Man City forwards, she inadvertently diverts Demi Stokes' cross past her own goalkeeper, in to the corner.

    Chelsea have had the better chances, but Man City are now surely heading for Wembley after a bizarre own goal!

    If this goes to penalties, Karen Bardsley will have researched every single penalty-taker, know exactly where they put it.

    She is always the one you wanted on your quiz team, a very intelligent lady.

    We're now in to a minimum of three added minutes.

    If it stays like this, there'll be 30 minutes of extra time and then potentially penalties.
