00:00That was a lucky young man.
00:06A mistake by Pau Torres, charged down by Saar.
00:12Suddenly Palace are fancying this.
00:15Eze! Oh! They are fancying it.
00:19He stands and takes a salute, a statue of success.
00:25Eberechi Eze with a semi-final sensation.
00:30Well, I'm not sure the pass was meant for him, but he certainly made the most of it.
00:38Scored that great goal against Fulham in the last round.
00:43And on his work, he just sweeps it beyond Martinez.
00:48I think the earliness of the shot took Martinez by surprise, maybe.
00:53Eze.
00:56Mitchell was a little bit lucky.
00:58Trying to feed it in, comes out to Wharton.
01:03Ooh, what's Anthony Taylor going to make of this penalty?
01:06The camera, I think, is chasing back. She just runs into it.
01:15Here it is.
01:16But he does catch him. That won't be changed.
01:18He has been booked.
01:19Telling he's got to be on the line.
01:23It's a really big moment in the semi-final.
01:27For Crystal Palace.
01:28And Marteta is missed.
01:29And Marteta is missed.
01:33Martinez takes the credit.
01:35But really it was his mistake.
01:38And what will be the outcome?
01:40How costly can that be?
01:41For Aston Villa.
01:45He took his time.
01:47And he just goes wide.
01:53Starts on target and then just carries on going.
01:57There's no bend on it.
01:58Hits the outside of the post.
01:59Big, big, big let-off for Aston Villa here.
02:04Oliver Glasner succeeded Roy Hodgson.
02:12Rodgers.
02:14Good work by Wharton.
02:17Here's Saar.
02:19Break goal! Palace lead 2-0.
02:22Ismail Assar.
02:24Just drilled it home.
02:25Martinez beaten.
02:28And Palace having gone through the disappointment of wasting the penalty.
02:40Tipping for a semi-final.
02:42And Catia.
02:44And Kansar get away here and really settle it.
02:47Ismail Assar.
02:48He does!
02:51What a way to wrap it up.
02:53He scores.
02:552 against Aston Villa again.
02:58As he did in February.
03:01Game set and match.
03:03To Crystal Palace.
03:06They'll be back.
03:08And remember.
03:10That Saar is on a hat-trick.
03:12Which Riyad Mahrez did a couple of years ago for Manchester City here in the semi-final.
03:16He doesn't need the third.
03:18For him, he got the third in the game.
03:20Comprehensive from Crystal Palace.
03:22Can I tell you?
03:23Are you sure?
03:24That looks good.
03:25Right now.
03:26You're the first in the game.
03:28What did he do of the Daniel?
03:29I got the third in the game.
03:30We're back.
03:31Here's part in the game.
03:32Do have a couple of years or so.
03:34Arbeits.
