Crystal Palace triumphed over Aston Villa 3-0 in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium, marking their return to the final for the first time since 2016. Eberechi Eze scored first with a brilliant finish, while Ismaila Sarr secured the win with two goals, despite Jean-Philippe Mateta's missed penalty. The victory showcased Palace's dominance over a struggling Villa side. Crystal Palace will face either Manchester City or Nottingham Forest in the final on May 17, 2023, looking for redemption after their previous final loss to Manchester United.
Oliver Glasner's Eagles were underdogs going into the semi-final tie, but ultimately emerged comfortable victors after outclassing Unai Emery's Villans in every department.
Ismaila Sarr's brace, one coming shortly after the penalty miss and the second in stoppage time to wrap up the result, firmly ensured victory.
