LONDON, April 20 (Xinhua) -- Manchester City kept its hopes of a domestic league and Cup double alive after beating Chelsea 1-0 in Saturday's FA Cup semifinal.
Bernardo Silva made up for his decisive miss in their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal in midweek, scoring the only goal of the game in the 84th minute, after a move involving Kevin de Bruyne and Jeremy Doku.
The win sets up the prospect of an all-Manchester FA Cup final, with Manchester United playing Coventry City on Sunday.
Arsenal took advantage of Manchester City's Cup action to move to the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win away to Wolverhampton.
Mikel Arteta's side produced a confident display against its solid mid-table rival, and won the match with goals from Leandro Trossard in the 45th minute and Martin Odegaard in the fifth minute of injury time.
The relegation issue became much clearer on Saturday, with Burnley winning 4-1 away to Sheffield United to keep its own survival hopes alive while all-but burying the host.
Jacob Bruun Larsen and Lorenz Assignon hit Sheffield with two goals in two minutes towards the end of the first half and although Gustavo Hamer got Sheffield back into things in the 52nd minute, Lyle Foster put Burnley two goals ahead in the 58th minute and Johann Gudmundsson rounded off the win in the 71st minute.
Brentford took a huge step towards safety at the expense of Luton Town with a 5-1 victory.
Yoane Wissa scored twice in the first half, before Ethan Pinnock, Keane Lewis-Potter and Kevin Schade piled on the hurt long before Luke Berry's late consolation. ■
