Crystal Palace have qualified for the final of this season's FA Cup, thanks to a commanding 3-0 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday.

Ismaïla Sarr scored twice against Unai Emery's side for the second time this season, as they won the first semi-final convincingly.

However, it was Eberechi Eze who opened the scoring with a magnificent effort, sweeping home Sarr's pass.

Palace were awarded the chance to double their advantage from the penalty spot, but the in-form Jean-Philippe Mateta saw his effort fly wide of Emi Martínez's post.

Nevertheless, Mateta's blushes were spared by Sarr, who drilled in a low finish from range to all but seal the win.

The Senegalese winger then ran onto Eddie Nketiah's pass to score Palace's third at Wembley Stadium.

They will face either Nottingham Forest or Manchester City at Wembley on 17 May.
