The boss of Aston Villa Unai Emery admitted that Crystal Palace Palace deserved to win the FA Cup semi-final and confirmed that Marcus Rashford will be released for several weeks after having undergone an injury to the hamstring and was not in the team.
Ebelechi Eze opened the scoring with a wonderful strike in the first half before Jean-Phillippe Mateta draws his large penalty after the break.
But Sarr beat Emi Martinez from the outside of the box in the second half before finishing the game deeply in the time of stopping
“He is injured. He was injured this week and we did a test. We will try to test it with every match, but he is injured and probably for a few weeks, he will not be available, “said Emery.
“We have to take our experiences for maturity. We lost last year in the semi-finals and we lost the semi-final here-we are aware of increasing our requests and we are improving a lot in two years.
“Now I can tell you to win a trophy is something very important and the responsibility of this club and its history is massive. Our goal is a cup and it is something for which we have to work strongly, but to be coherent and obtain performance through the Premier League too, ”added Emery.

Meanwhile, Oliver Glasner praised his players from the Palais after throwing Villa to reserve their place in the FA Cup final.
“It was a really incredible performance. It is so difficult to execute how the players did, ” said the boss of the palace.
His team will return to Wembley next month to face Nottingham Forest or Manchester City in what will be their third final of the FA Cup. The Eagles never raised the trophy before.
And Glasner congratulated Ismaila Sarr after the Senegalese international marked twice and helped another in a week when Sarr and his partner had twins.
“He’s a great guy and an important part of the group. I love his attitude and he is so good with his mind, his physique and his technical game and his finish, “said Glasner.
