FA Cup Final: Head coach Oliver Glasner hailed how Crystal Palace executed his plan to plot their way to the FA Cup final first since 2016.

Eberechi Eze strike alongside two goals from Ismaila Sarr earned the Eagles a deserved 3-0 win over Aston Villa at Wembley to send Palace to just their third FA Cup Final in nine years.

“It is easy to talk about it but it is very difficult to execute it like the players did today, all credit to them. How they stuck to the plan, how hard they were working. It was great to see after the missed penalty (by Jean-Philippe Mateta), we had two or three situations to overcome and Dean Henderson made a good save and we didn’t lose our heads.
