Crystal Palace 3-0 Aston Villa - PLAYER RATINGS: Which Eagles star put on a performance they will never forget? Who was a joy to watch? And who struggled all game?

Crystal Palace booked their spot in their first FA Cup final since 2016 with a commanding 3-0 win against Aston Villa on Saturday evening.

Jean-Philippe Mateta may have gone without, after having an early strike chalked off and missing a penalty at Wembley, but his team-mates were capable deputies in front of goal, with Eberechi Eze opening the scoring in some style.

The England international's sublime top-corner goal gave Palace a first-half lead against Unai Emery's side, and Ismail Sarr doubled it after the break.

Sarr struck a second time on the break in stoppage time to spark bedlam amongst the Palace fans.
