Manchester City came from behind to edge past Southampton 2-1 in a barnstorming FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, reaching a record fourth consecutive final and keeping their hopes of a domestic treble alive.

Finn Azaz curled the Championship side in front with 11 minutes remaining, only for Jeremy Doku and Nico Gonzalez to strike inside the final eight minutes and break Saints' hearts after a 20-match unbeaten run.
