Manchester City kept their quadruple hopes alive by progressing to the FA Cup final after narrowly beating Brighton 1-0 on Saturday at Wembley.

With Sergio Aguero out, Gabriel Jesus more than took his chance by giving Pep Guardiola's men the lead in the fourth minute by heading home Kevin De Bruyne's teasing cross. 

Brighton pushed early on in the second half as they looked to make a dramatic comeback at the national stadium but City soon started to find their tempo again and dictated proceedings. While Guardiola's side failed to find their shooting boots in the second period, they managed to hold on to their 1-0 lead.
