FA Cup Semi-Final Draw Confirmed as Villa and Palace Secure Spots

The draw for the FA Cup semi-finals was conducted on Sunday, following Aston Villa’s dominant 3-0 victory over Preston North End in the third quarter-final clash.

Marcus Rashford starred for Villa, netting his first two goals for the club as Unai Emery’s side sealed their place in the last four. They will now face Crystal Palace at Wembley.

Palace secured their semi-final spot on Saturday after a convincing 3-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest overcame Brighton in a dramatic penalty shootout after their quarter-final ended goalless after 120 minutes.

Forest will now face the winner of the final quarter-final tie between Manchester City and Bournemouth.
