SARR THE STAR AS EAGLES FLY!

Oliver's Army are Glas acts as they book final No 3 and give Villa a fading feeling

- By Simon Mullock

THE Eagles have landed once again in the FA Cup Final - and this time they will be hoping it's third time lucky.

Wing wizards Eberechi Eze and Ismaila Sarr conjured up three sensational goals to send Aston Villa into a tailspin and put South London on another high alert for Wembley tickets.

Sarr, who set up the first-half opener for Eze, struck twice after Jean-Philippe Mateta had missed a penalty to prompt Palace boss Oliver Glasner into dancing down the touchline in delight.

Twice before Palace have battled through to take a place in English football's showpiece

It was a slow-burner of a semi - but Palace's greater firepower proved the difference.

Glasner's underdogs also demonstrated a spirit that will stand them in good stead when they return to Wembley to meet Nottingham Forest or Manchester City on May 17.

It took 12 minutes for the first shot in anger, Boubacar Kamara’s drive rising too high.

Kamara was booked for hacking down Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell got the same for hauling back Morgan Rogers.
