Aston Villa boss Unai Emery admitted that Crystal Palace Palace deserved to win the FA Cup semi-final and confirmed that Marcus Rashford will be out for a few weeks after he had sustained a hamstring injury and was not in the team.
Ebereechi Eze opened the score with a miracle strike in the first half before Jean-Phillippe Mateta fired his penalty wide after the break.
But SARR defeated Emi Martinez from outside the box in the second half before cutting the game deep in the stop time
“He's injured. He was injured this week and we did a test. We are going to try to test him every game, but he is injured and he will probably not be available for a few weeks, “Emery said.
'We have to take our experiences to grow up. We lost in the semi -final last year and we lost the semi -final here – we are aware of increasing our requirements and we improve a lot in two years. '
'Now I can tell you that you have to win a trophy is something very important and the responsibility for this club and its history is huge. Our goal is a cup and that is something we have to work strongly for, but to be consistent and also to get versions through the Premier League, “Emery added.
In the meantime, Oliver Glasner greeted his palace players after they have swept Villa aside to book their place in the FA Cup final.
“It was really a great achievement. It is so difficult to implement how the players did, “said the palace boss.
His side will return to Wembley next month to face the Nottingham Forest of Manchester City in what their third FA Cup final will be. The Eagles have never lifted the trophy before.
And Glasner praised Ismaila Sarr after the Senegalese international scored twice and another helped in a week in which SARR and his partner had twins.
“He is a great guy and an important part of the group. I love his attitude and he fits so well with his mind, physicality and his technical play and finish, “said Glasner.
