Manchester City claimed the 2026 FA Cup with a narrow 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on 16 May 2026, and it was Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo who delivered the moment that sealed the trophy for Pep Guardiola‘s side.

Semenyo’s decisive contribution came in the second half, when he produced what has been widely described as an audacious back-heel or cheeky flick to find the net — a finish that completed a domestic cup double for the Citizens and announced the forward as a marquee signing in his debut half-season at the club.

Among the many reactions that followed the full-time whistle, one message resonated beyond the celebrations on the pitch. Semenyo’s fiancée, Jordeen Buckley, posted to Instagram from inside Wembley Stadium, sharing images from the aftermath and writing simply: “So proud of you.”

Buckley, a London-based model, influencer, and entrepreneur originally from Jamaica, has built a significant social media following — particularly on TikTok — through fashion and lifestyle content, as well as her beauty venture, Jrose Nailbar. She is frequently noted among football’s high-profile partners and has been a visible presence at matches throughout Semenyo’s career, including during his time at AFC Bournemouth and on international duty with the Black Stars.

The couple, who have been together for several years, became engaged in November 2025 when Semenyo proposed on the occasion of their fifth anniversary. Buckley has consistently used her platforms to express support for the forward across various stages of his career, and her Wembley post is the latest in that pattern.

Semenyo joined Manchester City from AFC Bournemouth in the January 2026 transfer window, arriving as a January addition to Guardiola’s attacking options. He wasted little time integrating into the squad, contributing goals and assists in the months following his arrival before culminating his debut campaign with silverware. His winner against Chelsea at Wembley represents the high point of what has been a transformative season for the 25-year-old Ghana international.

The FA Cup triumph adds to City’s domestic cup collection and rounds off a significant period for the club. For Semenyo personally, the goal at Wembley marks a notable milestone — his first major honour at club level and a statement of intent following his high-profile move from the south coast.

Semenyo had previously attracted attention for his performances at Bournemouth, where his direct running and goal contributions made him one of the more eye-catching forwards outside the traditional top six before City moved to secure his services. His integration into a title-challenging squad was watched closely, and his Wembley moment will likely cement his standing at the Etihad going into next season.

Following the FA Cup victory, reports indicate Semenyo issued a cautionary note to Arsenal in the ongoing Premier League title race, signalling that City’s ambitions for the campaign are not yet concluded.
