A wonderful day for all Crystal Palace fans Their team swept aside Aston Villa at Wembley to reach their first FA Cup since 2016 Author - Terry J Eberechi Eze and Ismaila Sarr provided the decisive moments to overcome Aston Villa at Wembley. Eze struck just after the half-hour mark, collecting the ball on the edge of the area before driving a fierce effort high beyond Emiliano Martínez. It was a goal of real quality, lifting a semi-final that had begun in cautious fashion. Palace should have extended their lead before the break. Tyrick Mitchell miscued in front of an open goal, while Jean-Philippe Mateta saw his penalty clip the outside of the post following a clumsy Villa challenge.

Bournemouth were held to a draw by 10-man Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The home side had to play over half the match with a numerical disadvantage after Chris Richards' dismissal in first-half stoppage time, but Andoni Iraola's side failed to break down their opponents in a second-half low on goalmouth drama. Author - Ajay The first 45 minutes had ended in controversy after Palace defender Richards was shown a second yellow card for a tug on Justin Kluivert. Palace fans and players were incensed at the decision, particularly as the referee had opted against dismissing Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott for a second bookable offence following a foul on Ismaila Sarr 10 minutes earlier.  Maybe some controversy would liven things up? Perhaps, the sending off gave Palace the impetus to see the game and pick up a deserved point.

Newcastle United thrashed Crystal Palace at St James' Park. The Magpies delivered a ruthless first-half display to race to a 4-0 lead and deal another blow to the Eagles' hopes of qualifying for Europe through their league position. Author - James P Was this a turning point? Jacob Murphy set the tone for the big win with the 14th-minute opener as the winger's right-foot strike from a very tight angle squeezed past Dean Henderson at his near post. Palace then missed the chance to equalise. Henderson's counterpart Nick Pope caught Chris Richards inside the box and the referee pointed to the spot after being referred to the pitchside monitor by VAR. The Newcastle keeper redeemed himself with a routine save to stop Eberechi Eze's tame spot-kick. This would prove to be a turning point in the match. Newcastle doubled their lead in the 38th minute when Palace defender Marc Guehi turned a Harvey Barnes cross into his own net. READ MORE: Previous Palace stories from Lond...
