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 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.
