Crystal Palace progressed to the FA Cup final for the first time in nine years as Ismaila Sarr’s double and a rocket from Eberechi Eze sealed a 3-0 triumph against Aston Villa at Wembley on Saturday 26 April, 2025.
Oliver Glasner’s Eagles went in front in the semi-final through Eze’s long-range blast in the 31st minute before Sarr netted twice in the second half, in the 58th and 4th minute of additional time.
In the final on May 17, Crystal Palace will slug it out with Nottingham Forest or Manchester City, who clash in the second semi-final on Sunday 27 April, 2025.
Palace have never clinched the FA Cup, losing their two final appearances against Manchester United in 2016 and 1990.
