Crystal Palace dominated a flat Aston Villa side with a composed and disciplined performance.
Crystal Palace are now one step away from history after a dominant 3-0 victory over Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-finals, reports the Voice of Sport from Wembley Stadium.
The Eagles delivered a disciplined and commanding performance, excelling in defence and attack. Manager Oliver Glasner masterminded a tactical plan that completely neutralized Villa, who looked a shadow of their earlier-season form.
Palace set the tone from the start, showing greater hunger and sharpness. Jean-Philippe Mateta set up Eberechi Eze to fire a superb opener past Emiliano Martinez. Despite missing a penalty early in the second half, Palace stayed composed. Ismaila Sarr added a brilliant second goal from distance, then sealed the win with another late strike.
Villa, burdened by the weight of expectations, were unable to cope with Palace’s intensity. Their ambitious project showed flashes of promise this season but fell flat under pressure at Wembley.
For Palace fans, the dream of FA Cup glory is alive again. With a return to Wembley for the final, they hope to finally lift the trophy after past heartbreaks — and perhaps usher in European football nights at Selhurst Park. After such a complete display, Palace’s shot at glory looks well deserved.
