Team were battling Forest for top spot in ChampionshipPlayers informed after final game of their season The Wolves women’s players have said they feel let down by a lack of ambition from their club after learning an application for promotion to the Women’s Championship was not submitted, despite the team battling Nottingham Forest for top spot all season. Wolves finished second in the northern section of the third tier in English women’s football – the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division – on Sunday, three points behind Forest, who clinched promotion on the final day to go up to the second tier.

Manchester City reached their third consecutive FA Cup final by beating Nottingham Forest on Sunday, but the semi-final was played with a backdrop of thousands of empty seats in the blue half of Wembley.

Manager finds fresh motivation with young talent after guiding club to win over Forest in FA Cup semi-final News just in: Pep Guardiola still has a few tactical tricks up his sleeve. The scary thought for the rest of the Premier League must be that Guardiola, who looked and sounded like a man ready to pack it in and head for the golf course earlier this season, is finding fresh motivation in putting Manchester City back together. Enjoy it while it lasts, you can imagine him saying to his rivals, but just be aware that I have revenge planned for anyone who dared to wonder if I was finished when we were losing 4-0 at home against Tottenham. It is, of course, worth pointing out that it is too soon to assume that a new imperial era is taking shape. City are deservedly through to their third consecutive FA Cup final, a date with Crystal Palace secured thanks to a well-crafted 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest, but Guardiola still has damage to repair. Ever the perfectionist, he will look back at his team’s performance against Forest and conclude that there were moments when this semi-final could have slipped from their grasp. Anthony Elanga had a glorious chance to make it 1-1 early in the second half, only to miss from close range, while City will know that they were fortunate not to concede after going 2-0 up.

Manager vows to challenge Liverpool for title next seasonForest aiming to leapfrog City to third in the table After Manchester City reached a third successive FA Cup final, Pep Guardiola insisted that beating Crystal Palace in the showpiece will not make it a successful season, vowing his team will next year challenge the newly crowned Premier League champions, Liverpool. City’s 2-0 semi-final defeat of Nottingham Forest at Wembley on Sunday came via Rico Lewis’s long-range strike after two minutes and Josko Gvardiol’s 51st-minute header and kept alive their last chance of silverware this term.

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo says his side still "have a lot to fight for" despite losing their FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City at Wembley.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says that Champions League football is top priority after goals from Josko Gvardiol and Rico Lewis see Manchester City beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 to reach their third consecutive FA Cup final at Wembley.

"Unlucky" Nottingham Forest hit the woodwork three times in the second half of their FA Cup semi final against Manchester City.

Goals from Rico Lewis and Josko Gvardiol help Manchester City brush aside a luckless Nottingham Forest to reach a third successive FA Cup final.

It was a day when the FA Cup romantics could see the script for Nuno Espírito Santo and Nottingham Forest, something to further embellish the manager’s hero status and the club’s finest season in at least 30 years. It was one when Pep Guardiola and Manchester City just refused to entertain it. City led from the second minute through Rico Lewis’s second goal of the season and when Josko Gvardiol thumped home a header on 51 minutes shortly after a glaring miss by the Forest substitute, Anthony Elanga, it felt over. That Forest were repeatedly on the wrong side of the finest of margins thereafter only deepened their pain. Continue reading...

FA Cup updates from 4.30pm BST kick-off at WembleyLiverpool v Spurs: Premier League live | And mail Taha Let’s get going. The players are making their way out of the tunnel. There’s a sea of red: Forest fans to go with a healthy portion of empty seats in the upper stand. An anxious Hasan writes in: This season I’ve taken to watching all of Forest’s FA games with my aunt. Why, you ask? Is it because her punditry focuses primarily on the various hairdos on display? Is it because she laughs with life-affirming joy every time a player falls over theatrically? Is it because she’s been known to get 80 minutes into a game before realising she’s been cheering on the opposition? Well yes, partly all of the above. But most significantly, I’ve never watched Forest lose while sitting with her. Now she’s had the temerity to go away on holiday, and I’m left to watch the game all alone, fearing the worst.
