FOOTBALL: Rico Lewis said Manchester City want to make up for their disappointing season by seeing off Crystal Palace and lifting the FA Cup.

City booked their place in next month's final at Wembley with a 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest after Lewis opened the scoring inside two minutes.

Josko Gvardiol extended City’s advantage in the second half before they rode their luck when Nottingham Forest struck the woodwork on three occasions.

Pep Guardiola admitted that winning the FA Cup would not be enough to describe City's season as a “success” on the day his side reached the final but were dethroned as Premier League champions.

But when asked if winning the competition for a second time in three years was important for City, Lewis said: “Yes, definitely.

“Everyone in that changing room likes winning trophies. Nobody in there doesn’t want to win an FA Cup or whatever competition we're in.
