Crystal Palace reached the FA Cup final in spectacular style as Eberechi Eze and Ismaila Sarr drove them to a fully deserved victory against Aston Villa at Wembley.
Eze unlocked a tense semi-final after 31 minutes when he rifled a magnificent drive high past Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez from the edge of the penalty area.
Jean-Philippe Mateta failed from the spot when his penalty glanced off the post before Sarr hit another stunning goal after 58 minutes, advancing powerfully before drilling a low shot into the bottom left corner past Martinez.
Villa pressed but could not break down Palace’s superbly organised defence, and Sarr wrapped up the win deep into stoppage time when he raced clear to beat Martinez.
