:00:32. > :00:39.Hello and welcome to Wembley for the weekend's second FA Cup semifinal as
:00:40. > :00:46.Crystal Palace take on Watford for the right to face Manchester United
:00:47. > :00:51.in next month's final. It's been 26 years since Crystal Palace last made
:00:52. > :00:56.it to the final of the FA Cup, that famous replay defeat to Manchester
:00:57. > :01:01.United back in 1990. For Watford you have to go even further back for the
:01:02. > :01:06.last time they made it all the way: 1984. Also in defeat, to Everton.
:01:07. > :01:12.Neither of these clubs have lifted the famous FA Cup trophy. Who will
:01:13. > :01:20.be back here on May 21 for a chance to make some history?
:01:21. > :01:28.COMMENTATOR: Memories of a tight and tense championship play-off final
:01:29. > :01:33.three years ago will come to mind for many in the stadium today. It
:01:34. > :01:37.took Kevin Phillips penalty to separate them and send Palace on to
:01:38. > :01:41.the Premier League. Today's encounter could be just as close.
:01:42. > :01:47.Both have slumped in the league since Christmas. Both won against
:01:48. > :01:49.the other in this seasons to Premier League encounters. Restore Palace in
:01:50. > :01:59.their first semifinal for 20 years. Connor Wickham is preferred to a
:02:00. > :02:05.manual and a bio upfront, and Jason Puncheon plays instead of Joe
:02:06. > :02:12.Ledley, who joins Adebayor among the substitutes. It is Watford's first
:02:13. > :02:18.semifinal since 2007. Three changes to the side that saw off Arsenal.
:02:19. > :02:25.Costel Pantilimon keeps his place in goal. Britos comes in at the back.
:02:26. > :02:33.Abdi plays out wide. Guedioura drops to the bench.
:02:34. > :02:39.And the second of the FA Cup semifinals is underway.
:02:40. > :02:42.And the second of the FA Cup Palace in the stripes kicking from
:02:43. > :02:46.right-to-left in the first half. The ball thumped away by Wayne
:02:47. > :02:52.Hennessey. First chance to hear from Martin Keown alongside me. I don't
:02:53. > :02:57.know about you but I think this is a very difficult game to call. Yes,
:02:58. > :03:05.certainly is. You'd like to think Crystal Palace, with Bolasie up top
:03:06. > :03:13.will take the fight. But don't forget about Ighalo and Deeney, two
:03:14. > :03:19.very good forwards. He was centre stage the only other time Crystal
:03:20. > :03:23.Palace made it to the cup final. Great distance on that kick from
:03:24. > :03:28.Hennessy, Crystal Palace players swarming forward. The height of
:03:29. > :03:34.Pantilimon coming in handy. You saw the pace of Bolasie. Pantilimon is a
:03:35. > :03:39.giant of a man. Quique Sanchez Flores, I think he's done a very
:03:40. > :03:44.good job in his first season in the English game. Watford will be
:03:45. > :03:49.staying up with plenty of room to spare in their first season back in
:03:50. > :03:56.the elite of English football. Britos tries to stick with Bolasie,
:03:57. > :04:00.concedes a corner. Bolasie very much the central player now. I think he
:04:01. > :04:10.has that ability to do that, tests you with his pace. This time Britos
:04:11. > :04:15.just does enough. The ball flicked on towards the far post and it's in!
:04:16. > :04:23.Crystal Palace with the early lead! Yannick Bolasie. And we've only been
:04:24. > :04:25.playing for five minutes. Well, Bolasie was left upset and
:04:26. > :04:30.frustrated the last time Crystal Palace got to Wembley. He was an
:04:31. > :04:35.unused substitute. He sat on the bench. He's in the starting XI this
:04:36. > :04:38.time and he's made his mark early on this semifinal. Just an
:04:39. > :04:48.old-fashioned flick at the near post. Until on just can't get
:04:49. > :04:50.across. -- Pantilimon just can't get across. Excellent start from Alan
:04:51. > :04:55.Pardew's team, he's loving that. Perfect start for Crystal Palace and
:04:56. > :04:58.Yannick Bolasie, Perfect start for Crystal Palace and
:04:59. > :05:03.sixth goal of the season. Perfect start for Crystal Palace and
:05:04. > :05:07.draw, and added a big goal here at Wembley. Nyom with time to look up
:05:08. > :05:13.and picked the cross, it's not Wembley. Nyom with time to look up
:05:14. > :05:18.one. And that could so easily have gone in off the shins of Ward. I
:05:19. > :05:22.think he is complaining Scott Dann lets that go at the last minute.
:05:23. > :05:29.Great ball in. And look at Scott Dann leave it. In the end it just
:05:30. > :05:38.goes past the post. All the noise predictably
:05:39. > :05:43.goes past the post. All the noise will be loving all the open space on
:05:44. > :05:47.this nearside. Collision between a BOOING
:05:48. > :05:54.And Bolasie, and Capoue macro has stayed on the front. Think it was a
:05:55. > :05:56.coming together between them. Just an accident but I think he hit his
:05:57. > :06:02.knee. Doesn't look good when a an accident but I think he hit his
:06:03. > :06:07.player is holding his knee like that. Those innocuous
:06:08. > :06:12.player is holding his knee like a problem. They have just run into
:06:13. > :06:18.each other and he has rocked that left me.
:06:19. > :06:20.each other and he has rocked that freely at the moment but hopefully
:06:21. > :06:21.running off the problem that caused him so much pain just a couple of
:06:22. > :06:27.moments ago. Still just the him so much pain just a couple of
:06:28. > :06:29.in this match at Wembley has the ball is played forward by Capoue. A
:06:30. > :06:40.little wayward. Dann leaving ball is played forward by Capoue. A
:06:41. > :06:46.Jedinak. And Souare. That's Souare, and he's down again, Capoue, and it
:06:47. > :06:48.might be curtains for him. Yeah, it's unfortunate. Wondered if it was
:06:49. > :06:51.something he could run off. it's unfortunate. Wondered if it was
:06:52. > :06:55.setback in this first half for it's unfortunate. Wondered if it was
:06:56. > :06:57.Hornets. Conceding an early goal, and
:06:58. > :06:58.Hornets. Conceding an early goal, from the engine room of their
:06:59. > :07:04.midfield. A distraught Etienne from the engine room of their
:07:05. > :07:08.Capoue leaves the arena. That's a sad finish. Dreaming of playing in
:07:09. > :07:15.the final of the FA Cup and instead sad finish. Dreaming of playing in
:07:16. > :07:20.he goes off on a stretcher. Just about ready for the start of the
:07:21. > :07:23.second half, Martin. I wonder what you feel Quique Sanchez Flores will
:07:24. > :07:28.have been saying to his players at half-time. He will surely be looking
:07:29. > :07:33.for more from them? He will, but there will be no panic. I'd like to
:07:34. > :07:40.see the ball played directly to their strikers. Deeney and Ighalo
:07:41. > :07:48.will want more direct service. Connor Wickham taking it on. Down he
:07:49. > :07:52.goes inside the penalty area. The referee has a look and allows it to
:07:53. > :07:55.continue. A worrying moment for the Watford defence in the opening
:07:56. > :08:05.seconds of the second half. Here it is again, Martin. Ooh, well, seems
:08:06. > :08:16.to get the wrong side. Britos puts his foot out, he goes over its. He
:08:17. > :08:22.has legged him over. He's very lucky to get away with that. Alan Pardew
:08:23. > :08:29.has every right to be annoyed. Suarez feeding through, Britos dives
:08:30. > :08:32.in and doesn't get there. And Bolasie is carrying the threat for
:08:33. > :08:41.Crystal Palace. Once again goes the goal, and Pantilimon makes the save.
:08:42. > :08:45.Look how he skips over the first challenge. Sublime, the way he runs
:08:46. > :08:49.at people. He gets this off with his left foot. Incredible save, as he
:08:50. > :08:57.fires up in the air, watch how it goes off his feet. Until a
:08:58. > :09:06.Pantilimon just about managed to close his legs in time. There is the
:09:07. > :09:11.owner of Watford. Made plenty of changes last summer, worked out
:09:12. > :09:19.well. Is he planning to make more come the end of the season? Cabaye,
:09:20. > :09:21.Zaha. Ward is well forward on this nearside as well. Connor Wickham has
:09:22. > :09:27.come out wide. It feels like this nearside as well. Connor Wickham has
:09:28. > :09:33.game is coming to the boil nicely. Much more competitive. Deeney for
:09:34. > :09:37.Watford. He waits for Abdi to support him. Finds his strike
:09:38. > :09:42.partner, Ighalo, who goes down under the challenge of Scott Dann. It's
:09:43. > :09:49.going to be a yellow card. Further Crystal Palace defender. It's
:09:50. > :09:54.Ighalo, first time he's really got Dann in one against one situation.
:09:55. > :09:58.He's got too much for him. Stands him up. Just gets taken out. Ben
:09:59. > :10:02.Watson came off the bench in the FA Cup final for Wigan against
:10:03. > :10:07.Manchester City and made all the difference, scoring the only goal of
:10:08. > :10:14.the game. Think Watson is sizing this one up. Abdi with a little
:10:15. > :10:19.lay-off. Watson strikes. The deflection carrying it behind for a
:10:20. > :10:27.Watford striker. Just screws it into the wall, gets lucky, gets a corner
:10:28. > :10:34.for his team. The corner from Gerard Oda, and it's the equalising goal!
:10:35. > :10:41.And who else, but the Talisman, Troy Deeney? And it's game on, now -- the
:10:42. > :10:47.corner from Jurado. At last those Watford fans have something to shout
:10:48. > :10:53.about. They'd hardly threatened in the game, but Deeney was given a
:10:54. > :10:58.chance, and he's it. Well, cometh the hour, cometh the man, and it's
:10:59. > :11:03.Deeney again. Gets away from his marker. To get a head on the ball,
:11:04. > :11:09.there... Ridiculous. Just got it on a plate. Once he's got a touch, the
:11:10. > :11:14.keeper had no chance. Scott Dann was right with him, but Deeney able to
:11:15. > :11:25.get to the ball first. Deeney's delight. Quique Sanchez Flores much
:11:26. > :11:28.more animated on the touchline, now. They are really in this match. They
:11:29. > :11:34.weren't in the game for the first half. Half an hour to go, big half
:11:35. > :11:39.an hour. Can somebody find a winning goal or will we go to extra time?
:11:40. > :11:44.Remember three years ago in the championship play-off final, it did
:11:45. > :11:49.take extra time. Bolasie again now, again up against Britos. And Britos
:11:50. > :11:54.just has to get it right in that situation. Did well, there. He's
:11:55. > :12:05.going to need plenty of pace. Plenty more where that came from.
:12:06. > :12:14.Ball into Connor Wickham! Agonisingly out of reach for Costel
:12:15. > :12:21.Pantilimon, and Connor Wickham restores Crystal Palace's lead.
:12:22. > :12:30.Picked for the big game, he repays the face that Alan Pardew has shown
:12:31. > :12:34.in him. -- repays the faith. It is Connor Wickham's fifth goal of the
:12:35. > :12:38.season, and the biggest by far. Palace ahead for the second time
:12:39. > :12:45.this afternoon. It's a great ball that gets whipped in, Souare. That's
:12:46. > :12:50.why he's in the team, he repays the manager. Hence it back from the
:12:51. > :12:59.direction it comes in. Too much for Ake. Look at the power he has,
:13:00. > :13:02.there. Great trajectory, he gets off the ground brilliantly. Well,
:13:03. > :13:08.Watford were level for around six minutes before Crystal Palace
:13:09. > :13:12.restored their lead. Noses in front once more. And all that hard work
:13:13. > :13:17.undone in an instant. Well, satisfying for Alan Pardew. That's
:13:18. > :13:22.what he's picked him for. We are quite close to the Palace fans and
:13:23. > :13:28.you feel the stadium jumping. The stadium is physically moving now. It
:13:29. > :13:32.is. Nyom with time to look up and send it into the box but Scott Dann
:13:33. > :13:37.gets there first. He has conceded a corner kick. Trying to be too
:13:38. > :13:44.clever, there, trying to head that act of the keeper, instead gives a
:13:45. > :13:48.corner away -- head that back to the keeper. The raw goes up from the
:13:49. > :13:53.Watford fans behind the goal as they look to draw level for the second
:13:54. > :14:01.time. Easy header away for James McArthur. Zaha let it drop, Nyom
:14:02. > :14:05.goes across with him. Zaha has kept the ball in play, here, and he is
:14:06. > :14:06.really stretching his legs and stretching the Watford defence and
:14:07. > :14:13.almost going all the way. stretching the Watford defence and
:14:14. > :14:16.Wickham sees his effort blocked. Still going. And then Pantilimon
:14:17. > :14:19.with all the time in the world to make the save. Nyom stuck to his
:14:20. > :14:38.task. Great run from Zaha. Given away. Adebayor presented with
:14:39. > :14:45.the ball on a plate. Ake trying to get back goal side. Well, he is as
:14:46. > :14:51.much of a live wire in the final five minutes of the game as he was
:14:52. > :14:55.in the front, Zaha. Got to give him credit, Adebayor put it on a plate
:14:56. > :15:06.for him. Doesn't have the precision, puts it into the side netting.
:15:07. > :15:14.Ighalo. Jurado with the ball in. Delaney stretching. Guedioura with
:15:15. > :15:20.the strike, and it's just wide. Agonising for the players. Agonising
:15:21. > :15:25.for the fans. Good play again. They are going after Palace, attacking
:15:26. > :15:31.them. Great ball into the box. Great defending from Delaney, and he just
:15:32. > :15:36.screws it wide. Gerard Oda has got to connect better with that.
:15:37. > :15:42.I was about to say that the party will start shortly, but I think it
:15:43. > :15:43.has already among the Crystal Palace supporters, trying to cheer their
:15:44. > :15:49.team over the line. This supporters, trying to cheer their
:15:50. > :15:55.Forward by Cathcart. supporters, trying to cheer their
:15:56. > :15:55.Deeney. The for Watson. Cleared away by Ward.
:15:56. > :16:03.Craig Pawson have a look at his for Watson. Cleared away by Ward.
:16:04. > :16:05.watch, and Palace are almost over the line. Can't get rid of
:16:06. > :16:11.watch, and Palace are almost over before Cabaye makes the challenge.
:16:12. > :16:17.Watford with the throw. Added time is all but up here now. There goes
:16:18. > :16:21.the final whistle. And, for the second time in their history,
:16:22. > :16:26.Crystal Palace are through to the FA Cup final, and it will be a repeat
:16:27. > :16:33.of the 1990 final. They will face Manchester United. Connor Wickham's
:16:34. > :16:36.header in the second half ultimately proving decisive. Yannick Bolasie
:16:37. > :16:42.having given Crystal Palace the early lead. Quique Sanchez Flores's
:16:43. > :16:45.team coming back into the game with a header from Troy Deeney in the
:16:46. > :16:50.second half, but they were not level for long. Connor Wickham made sure
:16:51. > :16:55.of that. And Crystal Palace on the day were the winners of their
:16:56. > :16:57.of that. And Crystal Palace on the FA Cup semifinal. The final
:16:58. > :17:02.of that. And Crystal Palace on the Crystal Palace 2, Watford 1.
:17:03. > :17:06.Just listen to the noise around this stadium. You are around
:17:07. > :17:09.Just listen to the noise around this in the FA Cup final. Talk me through
:17:10. > :17:17.Just listen to the noise around this and not make it. That was the plan,
:17:18. > :17:23.that we had to give it all that we could and get the final, and we
:17:24. > :17:28.managed it, so are happy. I thought the roof was going to come off the
:17:29. > :17:28.stadium when you opened the scoring. A
:17:29. > :17:34.stadium when you opened the scoring. I didn't get a chance to play at
:17:35. > :17:39.Wembley in the play-offs cup final. I'm delighted for myself and the
:17:40. > :17:44.team. For yourself, personally, a tough season injury wise. Did you
:17:45. > :17:49.feel you had to repay your manager for the faith he showed in you? I
:17:50. > :17:54.think I had it for the boys. The first goal we conceded was my fault.
:17:55. > :17:59.When the boy came in -- when the ball came in, I knew I was going to
:18:00. > :18:05.win the header. Congratulations on getting through again. A special
:18:06. > :18:10.date for Crystal Palace. It is. Our new owner is here today. And of
:18:11. > :18:15.course all of our fans have been magnificent. We have let them down a
:18:16. > :18:19.bit of home games this year but today our strongest 11 was available
:18:20. > :18:20.and it showed, and it's a shame it hasn't been available all year.
:18:21. > :18:23.and it showed, and it's a shame it have only played that team about
:18:24. > :18:29.eight times have only played that team about
:18:30. > :18:32.control in this game. We were competing until the last moment.
:18:33. > :18:41.That is the most important thing. Everything is possible. The Watford
:18:42. > :18:46.fans, today, they are happy with the team. We came out in the second half
:18:47. > :18:51.and I thought for the first 20 minutes we were the better team, and
:18:52. > :18:52.we got the goal. I thought we looked like a team who would go on to win
:18:53. > :18:58.it. Then we conceded a sloppy like a team who would go on to win
:18:59. > :19:02.and we couldn't get an equaliser. It wasn't to be. Fair play to Palace.
:19:03. > :19:07.They played well. Hopefully they go on to win. You are safe in the
:19:08. > :19:12.Premier League with room to spare. You have reached the semifinal of
:19:13. > :19:18.the FA Cup. A good season for you and Watford, first season back in
:19:19. > :19:22.the top division? Yeah, we have all of the reasons to enjoy this
:19:23. > :19:28.weekend. We have reasons to be happy. Our main target in the season
:19:29. > :19:34.was to keep the game improving, very important for the future. Some years
:19:35. > :19:38.after, when we look at the history of Watford, we will see how
:19:39. > :19:45.important it is to be competitive here. On the whole, a fantastic
:19:46. > :19:49.season, FA Cup semifinal, joint 11th in the Premier League with the
:19:50. > :19:54.possibility of finishing in the top ten. Before the season, if somebody
:19:55. > :19:57.had offered us that, we would have snapped their hands off. Crystal
:19:58. > :20:03.Palace against Manchester United in the cup final. We've been here
:20:04. > :20:10.before. We have. Seven minutes, I think, from winning it, and a game,
:20:11. > :20:14.and I know that Sir Alex, I spoke to him many times, I saw him on
:20:15. > :20:19.Wednesday, and I remember his career, in a way, that men united,
:20:20. > :20:24.it was hinged on that. Maybe Louis Van Gaal's career will hinge on
:20:25. > :20:30.this. It is a great day for us. But I am so pleased in the final. I like
:20:31. > :20:35.the guy. I think he has had some terrible press. I look forward to
:20:36. > :20:38.seeing him in the final. Some interesting thoughts from Alan
:20:39. > :20:42.Pardew and his opposite number, but it is Crystal Palace to go through.
:20:43. > :20:47.Martin has joined the pitch side along with Chris Sutton. The right
:20:48. > :20:54.team through to the final? I think so. Bolasie and Zaha really taking
:20:55. > :20:59.the game to Watford. It was a slow start. They improved in the second
:21:00. > :21:03.half. But I think the Watford players will go away disappointed
:21:04. > :21:07.that they didn't really turn up. I think it is tough for them, a lot of
:21:08. > :21:12.them playing at Wembley for the first time. That is difficult. Now
:21:13. > :21:15.we have a fitting final. Very interesting to see how it turned
:21:16. > :21:23.out. The threat of Bolasie would worry me if I was a Manchester
:21:24. > :21:27.United player. Regrets in the Watford dressing room? I wonder
:21:28. > :21:30.whether the talk of Sanchez Clara 's leading might have derailed them at
:21:31. > :21:35.all. But they didn't have a shot in the end. The right team won. You
:21:36. > :21:42.would have been happy with Yannick Bolasie's shot. That was my thought
:21:43. > :21:48.of range from half a yard. The worry for me was Delaney on the near post,
:21:49. > :21:52.nobody marking him, and he couldn't miss. It suited Palace today. They
:21:53. > :22:00.are a counterattacking team. They controlled the first half. Cabaye's
:22:01. > :22:05.Ed Balls, they were putting in the corners, the variation. You don't
:22:06. > :22:15.often see the near post Philip that we had. -- Cabaye's Ed Balls. They
:22:16. > :22:20.had options. That was the difference. The delivery from
:22:21. > :22:24.Watford at times wasn't good enough. Watford took a while to come back
:22:25. > :22:29.out fighting, but they did after the start of the second half. Troy
:22:30. > :22:32.Deeney got them back in it. Is fighting qualities were outstanding.
:22:33. > :22:42.He got them back into it. We didn't get to see Ighalo stand up very
:22:43. > :22:47.often. Scott Dann when Gallo ran at him -- Scott Dann was booked when
:22:48. > :22:53.Ighalo ran at him. The Watford striker were surviving on scraps. We
:22:54. > :22:57.talk that therefore not been good of late, but they didn't get any
:22:58. > :23:01.service of late. Watford didn't do enough. They should a bit more
:23:02. > :23:05.intensity in the second half but the goal came out of nothing. Palace
:23:06. > :23:09.were still in control. They had up the at half-time but Palace saw the
:23:10. > :23:15.game could comfortably. Connor the at half-time but Palace saw the
:23:16. > :23:20.Wickham, was he harsh on himself? Well, he gave the ball away, but
:23:21. > :23:24.they still had to defend the set piece better. That would have
:23:25. > :23:27.worried me as a Palace player or Alan Pardew at that time. They
:23:28. > :23:32.dominated the game. I thought they should have had a penalty. I wonder
:23:33. > :23:38.whether Britos should have been sent off. At 1-1, you think, is it going
:23:39. > :23:44.to be our day? Watford were only level for six minutes. I came back
:23:45. > :23:49.level through Connor Wickham, Crystal Palace. He has had a
:23:50. > :23:52.troubling season, injury wise. He has had an awful time of it with
:23:53. > :23:58.injuries. He scores spectacular goals. He is hung in the air.
:23:59. > :24:02.Perhaps the -- perhaps the keeper might have done better, on
:24:03. > :24:07.reflection. The powers through the air. That is what he is therefore,
:24:08. > :24:11.to score those goals. He just wants to keep himself fit. Alan Pardew
:24:12. > :24:18.really believes in him. He was right to do that. For Palace, they had so
:24:19. > :24:26.much pace, so much threat. Zaha had plenty of chances. Should he have
:24:27. > :24:31.got one away? I thought he was a handful all afternoon. He is a ball
:24:32. > :24:36.carrier. When you have Zaha, you have Bolasie, I thought that Connor
:24:37. > :24:41.Wickham, not a natural goal-scorer, but he holds the ball up so well. He
:24:42. > :24:48.is just going to get better. What do Palace need to do before they come
:24:49. > :24:53.back next month? They worry me as a team. At the beginning of the
:24:54. > :24:57.season, they started very well. Their form recently, one win in the
:24:58. > :25:02.Premier League, it's been awful. April has improved a bit. They need
:25:03. > :25:05.to find some consistency. They are playing for their futures. They were
:25:06. > :25:11.playing for an FA Cup final place. The form of Bolasie and Zaha is
:25:12. > :25:16.improving, Wickham needs to play more regularly. This team today was
:25:17. > :25:22.better than the one midweek, totally different. I am suspicious of them.
:25:23. > :25:26.Alan Pardew will need to keep pushing. Alan Pardew spoke before
:25:27. > :25:30.the game about getting his best 11 players on the field. This team
:25:31. > :25:35.played the first seven games and they were successful. This team has
:25:36. > :25:42.a chance against anybody. Especially in the final. When you think of the
:25:43. > :25:46.twist of Zaha playing his old club, Manchester United, brilliant story.
:25:47. > :25:49.It will be Crystal Palace against Manchester United in the final. If
:25:50. > :25:58.you missed yesterday, there is what happened.
:25:59. > :26:05.It goes high and long towards Lukaku to see if he can create some chaos.
:26:06. > :26:11.The angle is tight. Not of the line. Rooney got all the way back. Should
:26:12. > :26:13.have scored. What a clearance from Wayne Rooney. Look at him sprinting
:26:14. > :26:29.back. Fellaini. Rooney. Jesse Lingard,
:26:30. > :26:34.onside. And the sale is made. What an opening start it has been.
:26:35. > :26:45.Everton should be one down after that. That was an amazing chance.
:26:46. > :26:59.Fellaini! Scored in the replay in the quarterfinal against West Ham.
:27:00. > :27:05.He scores the opening the quarterfinal against West Ham.
:27:06. > :27:11.semifinal against his former club. Marouane Fellaini for Manchester
:27:12. > :27:17.United. 1-0. Well, it is that man Marshall causing the damage again.
:27:18. > :27:25.Just too easy, and a great pick out. -- batsman Anthony Martial.
:27:26. > :27:32.Tom Cleverley getting forward on the left. This is the chance they have
:27:33. > :27:40.been waiting for, Ross Barkley, penalty. It could be salvation for
:27:41. > :27:46.Everton. First, he misses it, then he gets it. There was a slight touch
:27:47. > :27:53.on Ross Barkley's right foot. This is huge. Brilliant save! Absolutely
:27:54. > :28:00.magnificent save! He has done it again, David de Gea. Brilliant save.
:28:01. > :28:21.What an unbelievable hand Did really well, back post, Tom
:28:22. > :28:23.Cleverley! He wants another penalty, but he isn't going to get that. It
:28:24. > :28:30.is a goal kick. Tom Cleverley has to but he isn't going to get that. It
:28:31. > :28:47.keep it down there. Got to do better. It's an
:28:48. > :28:52.Jesse Lingard calling for the cutback, instead it went to
:28:53. > :28:58.Fellaini. How they kept that out, Everton, I don't know. But Jack
:28:59. > :29:03.Kyoko, lying on the post, made the block. -- but Phil Jagielka. Got
:29:04. > :29:17.away with that one. Driven in. Own goal. 1-1 at Wembley.
:29:18. > :29:30.Everton are right back in Driven in. Own goal. 1-1 at Wembley.
:29:31. > :29:32.semifinal. It was a good move from Everton.
:29:33. > :29:36.semifinal. It was a good move from build-up play. It is a poor own goal
:29:37. > :29:44.from Chris Smalling, but it is a build-up play. It is a poor own goal
:29:45. > :29:49.defend. Lukaku has done brilliantly. Look at this. Rooney has got back.
:29:50. > :29:58.defend. Lukaku has done brilliantly. Perfect ball. What can Ross Barkley
:29:59. > :30:03.do? Lukaku, surely. Fellaini to the rescue. One of the best tackles I've
:30:04. > :30:08.seen this season. That is rescue. One of the best tackles I've
:30:09. > :30:10.talk about effort, commitment, down for the cause, putting your body on
:30:11. > :30:17.the line. Unbelievable for Fellaini. Anthony Martial, a chance to win it.
:30:18. > :30:31.He has! That will do it for Manchester
:30:32. > :30:34.United. They are surely into the FA Cup final. And the goal comes in
:30:35. > :30:42.what they Cup final. And the goal comes in
:30:43. > :30:48.Manchester United 2, heartbroken Everton 1.
:30:49. > :30:56.So Manchester United play Crystal Palace in the final, a rerun of that
:30:57. > :31:00.1990 final, and that was a cracker. It certainly was. An old team-mate
:31:01. > :31:05.of mine, Ian Wright, really launched himself into the big-time, coming
:31:06. > :31:10.off the bench with a broken leg, it went to 3-3, but the replay was a
:31:11. > :31:14.bit disappointing. Lots of memories. I am sure that Alan Pardew will want
:31:15. > :31:19.to change that scoreline. He has been so close to winning it, both as
:31:20. > :31:24.a player and as a manager. He will be hoping for first -- third time
:31:25. > :31:30.lucky. This is something to look forward to. It is, especially the
:31:31. > :31:35.way that Manchester United have been performing with this season,
:31:36. > :31:40.inconsistent. If Palace get this 11 out on the final, they will have a
:31:41. > :31:45.chance. It was a much improved Manchester United yesterday. But how
:31:46. > :31:50.much would a cart help Louis Van Gaal right now, help their season,
:31:51. > :31:58.help bring some love back to the fans? -- how much would a cup. They
:31:59. > :32:02.are playing their best football of the season. Almost by accident,
:32:03. > :32:06.Lingard, Rashford, they are playing with experienced players. Wayne
:32:07. > :32:11.Rooney now playing in a different position. They are coming into their
:32:12. > :32:15.own. They know how to play at Wembley. They go in as the
:32:16. > :32:19.favourites. But you never know in this competition. There may be a
:32:20. > :32:24.moment of inspiration. There are players that would frighten me in
:32:25. > :32:30.this Palace team. Capoue as well, they could be a story there, going
:32:31. > :32:36.back against his previous team. In set pieces, Manchester United are
:32:37. > :32:41.not always brilliant. But Louis Van Gaal can win it. If he takes fourth
:32:42. > :32:46.place in the jumping ship, he has had an OK season. I don't think he
:32:47. > :32:51.is. I don't think he will be there next season, regardless of whether
:32:52. > :32:57.the wings. I don't think that the fans have bought into his style of
:32:58. > :33:00.play. I think he will be a goner. It doesn't matter if he is there next
:33:01. > :33:05.season. The important thing is that he is there this year. We can call
:33:06. > :33:11.him one of the things we want, but if he wins the FA Cup, he goes away
:33:12. > :33:15.a winner. We will all look forward to that. Don't forget, you can get a
:33:16. > :33:20.further FA Cup fix with our special catch up programme available on
:33:21. > :33:25.Monday morning via the eye player. Thanks to Martin and Chris for
:33:26. > :33:32.joining me at Wembley. -- on the iPlayer. We will be back on maybe
:33:33. > :33:43.21st for the 125th FA Cup final. It should be a cracker.
:33:44. > :33:53.Kicked on towards the far post. Yannick Bolasie! Anthony Martial, a
:33:54. > :33:54.chance to win it. He has! Connor Wickham! Crystal Palace are through
:33:55. > :34:05.to the FA Cup final. I've been following
:34:06. > :34:09.the inspirational stories Along with hundreds of
