Alexis Sanchez hit a dramatic extra time winner to put Arsene Wenger on course for FA Cup history.
Arsenal fought back from going a goal down to win a thrilling semi final with a 110th minute tap-in from Sanchez and Wenger is now dreaming of a record seventh FA Cup win.
It broke Manchester City’s hearts as Pep Guardiola’s men will be cursing their luck and near misses which ultimately cost them.
City were desperately unlucky not to be ahead at half time when linesman Steve Child wrongly ruled the ball had gone out before Raheem Sterling put it in the net.
But City took the lead after 62 minutes when Sergio Aguero pounced on some poor Arsenal defending, exposed Monreal and lifted the ball over Petr Cech who was slow off his line.
That looked a devastating blow for Arsenal but Monreal, of all people, made amends by scoring a 71st minute equaliser from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s cross.
City roared back as Yaya Toure and Fernandinho hit the woodwork while Danny Welbeck missed a big chance to stop the game going into extra time.
