Aston Villa 2-1 Liverpool - FA Cup Semi Final | Goals & Highlights

Aston Villa will play in their first FA Cup Final for 15 years after coming from behind to beat Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley Stadium.
On a crisp spring afternoon in north-west London seven-time winners Liverpool never truly found their feet but took the lead through Philippe Coutinho on the half-hour mark.
However, Villa, who were positive and confident throughout, hit back.
First through Christian Benteke and then Fabian Delph - as Tim Sherwood’s side secured a famous victory under the arch.
Liverpool’s stuttering performance may have been caused an enforced change of style. A thigh injury sustained by Lucas Leiva late in the week meant Brendan Rodgers had to reshuffle his starting line-up.
The Liverpool manager opted for an unorthodox six-man midfield. He named three centre forwards on the bench and fielded Gerrard and Coutinho in advanced roles in front of a deeper midfield four.
And Aston Villa settled into the contest first, as Liverpool struggled to find rhythm in their passing and adjust to the new system.

It's so weird seeing all the Villa players who aren't there anymore. Vlaar, Cleverley, Delph, Benteke, probably the reason they went down

[@rznx8242]

Every single game people talk down on Villa we've won. I was reading posts pre-match and my god everyone was like "lol, they made it this far?", "Villa are shi*!", "Wonder is how they're this far." My point is, we've won every FA Cup game. I hope we win the finals, it would be fantastic. Do i expect them, yes and no, i expect them to give it their all; but if they can't do it then, they can't do it. I hope Arsenal have a good run in the final too.

[@Nemophilist850]

Will be interesting to see if Grealish chooses England next season. He must know he has a future with us now.

[@futbolcityfc6948]

Hullensian I hope grealish picks ireland

[@jackcarty7236]

Hullensian hes already been offered to play for england, but guess why he turned them down? BECAUSE HE'S IRISH. its all about success

[@futbolcityfc6948]

Jack Carty thank God he turned them down if Grealish plays for Ireland and stays at villa he'll become a quality player but if he chooses England and plays for Chelsea or Man city he's career will be ruined as has happened to Torres at Chelsea and people will be wondering of what could have been for Grealish

[@Nemophilist850]

Jack Carty It's more likely that he turned England down because he didn't know if he'd be good enough to play for the seniors, and you can only make the switch once at youth level before it's permanent. When asked he only ever says that he's playing for Ireland "for now" and doesn't now about he future. His brother also says he hasn't made his mind up yet.

[@Nemophilist850]

FIFA BEAST Why would he be any more likely to move to City or Chelsea if he plays for England? I mean I know England players tend to have better careers in England, but he can stay at Villa if he wants to. It's not like turning down England has worked out well for many players. Just look at Moses.

[@2minstral]

Should be an exciting final Between Arsenal and Aston Villa.

[@JosephLiburd]

2minstral if you count Arsenal being up 3-0 at half time exciting. These teams simply don't match up well. Villa will be throttled early and throughout.

[@Eddieuk1982]

Liverpool fan here and villa deserved to win this but what confuses me is why Mario didn't start from the beginning because he wasn't given enough time at Liverpool anyway you can't expect someone to fit in straight away I mean look at Suárez he went missing for a lot of games but when that 13/14 season happened my oh my he was class also this is a new channel that will contain lots of members hopefully 5-6 of different fans from different clubs where we will banter with players after football matches and have podcasts and discuss news going on in the football world (transfer, bet line ups, etc...) so if you could leave a sub that would be great

[@lizardblue2022]

Delph you legend

[@olivershon4469]

The reason we won was because of Delph Benteke Cleverley who kept the team together we have been torn apart and we went down it was only a Matter of time but we are alright now

[@issamkayssi9187]

Liverpool's formation was some variation of these two: Mignolet; Can, Skrtel, Lovren; Markovic, Henderson, Allen, Moreno; Gerrard, Coutinho; Sterling Mignolet; Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno; Henderson, Allen; Markovic, Gerrard, Coutinho; Sterling Substitutions: Jones, Johnson, Toure, Lambert, Manquillo, Borini, Balotelli.

For those liverpool fans who are complaining about Balotelli's offside ruling. At 4:54 you will see that he's handling the ball with his left overarm.

[@TheLFCFactor]

the whole point of ruling out the goal was an offside decision, which is still the wrong decision. grow a brain

[@tomrowley7260]

Villa have won the European cup! Remind me, have arsenal?

[@joesakic91]

Tom Rowley Yes, Aston Villa won the UEFA European Cup/Champions League title in 1982. Take away their UEFA Intertoto Cups titles in 2001 and 2008 and Villa's last major honor (American version, British version is honour) was in 1996 with the Football League Cup when they defeated Leeds United 3-0. Arsenal? Have yet to win a UEFA European Cup/Champions League title. The Gunners had a chance in 2006, but ran into Frank Rijkaard's Barcelona and also had Jens Lehmann sent off in the 18th minute.
