The players come out of the tunnels and onto the pitch. After being greeted by the Prince of Wales and the national anthem, referee Darren England blows his whistle to get the match underway, and it's Chelsea who take the kick off.

It has been a patient start to the match from City, with Pep Guardiola's men having the lion's share of possession. Cucurella makes a break down the left flank for Chelsea, but he is outmuscled by the defence, fairly, says the referee.

A ball is floated into the Chelsea box, and it's heade towards the middle by Rodri. Haaland, with his back to goal, tries to bring it down, but his high foot catches the head of James, and the referee blows for a foul.

Decent play from Chelsea, as the ball is played to Joao Pedro on the right. The Brazilian floats in a delivery to the far corner aimed towards Cucurella, but it's headed behind for a corner.

A massive calamity at the back for Chelsea, and James loses the ball near his own penalty area. Haaland wins posession and has a free run at goal, but his finessed shot goes wide off the post.

Haaland finds the back of the net, but the flag goes up for offside. A through ball finds the run of Nunes, who squares it back for Haaland to poke it in from close range.

Chelsea are trying tui build through the middle. Caicedo plays the ball to the right, but his cross into the arms of Trafford. Chelsea have had only 31% of the ball in the first half.

City are pushing hard for the opening goal, but the Chelsea defence are holding firm. With the regulation period over, the fourth official holds up his board to indicate a minimum of three minutes to be added on.

A bit of controversy at the end. Joao Pedro makes a darting run but goes down inside the box after a collision with Khusanov. Darren England waves play on, much to the anger of the Chelsea players. Replays show that it was a body check, and VAR clears the incident. After three minutes of football, the referee blows the half-time whistle.

The players are out of the tunnels and onto the pitch. Haaland takes the kick off to get the second half underway. One change for City, with Cherki coming on Marmoush.

Best chance of the match, and it falls to Semenyo!! Cherki plays the ball wide to O'Reilly, who floats in a cross towards the far post. Semenyo jumps over his marker and heads it goalwards, and it fizzes just over the crossbar.

A corner is played in from the right into the City box. Trafford tries to punch it clear but only manages to get it as far as Caicedo, whose goalbound header is cleared off the line by Rodri. A foul by Caicedo ends the move.

Another penalty appeal from Chelsea, and it's Pedro and Khusanov involved once again. The Brazilian goes down in the box under pressure from Khusanov, and once again, the referee waves play on. Replays show that both players had arms on each other, and the contact was minimal anyway.

What a goal from Semenyo to put Man City ahead!! It was a brilliant move from City, with Cherki playing the ball to Haaland on the right. The Norwegian cuts it back across the face of goal, and Semenyo plays a first-time backheel into the bottom corner.

A long throw into the box is met by Enzo, who flicks it towards goal. Trafford looks beaten, but it goes just over the bar. What a brilliant couple of minutes of attacking football.

The game has really opened up, with Chelsea having another shot that is saved by Trafford. The Blues have responded well since going back, putting the City centre-back under some pressure.

What a save from Sanchez to deny Cherki!! Moments after the goalkeeper parried a shot into the crossbar, he is called into action action, being at full stretch to deny Cherki's venomous shot from outside the box.

With the regualtion time being over, the fourth official holds up his board ot indicate a minimum of five minutes. Five more minutes for Chelsea to make a comeback.

The referee blows the full-time whistle, and it's another trophy in Pep Guardiola and Man City's cabinet! Antoine Semenyo's moment of magic is the decider, and the Cityzens are deserved winners tonight.
