John Stones and Fernandinho scored as Pep Guardiola’s booked their place at Wembley with a dominant display that served as a fitting tribute to Colin Bell, who was remembered with a minute’s silence before kick-off.

After an end to end first half, in which three goals were disallowed for offside - two for City and one for United – Stones turned in Phil Foden’s free-kick at the far post to break the deadlock.
City had been in control up to that point and the goal only accentuated our superiority, with Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez forcing good saves from Dean Henderson whilst the home side struggled in attack.
Fernandinho sealed the victory seven minutes from time, firing a volley into the bottom corner after United failed to clear a corner.
