Chelsea FC vs Aston Villa | FA Cup semi-final Full Higlights

Holders Chelsea booked their place in the Women's FA Cup final with a narrow victory over Aston Villa and remain on course to win the trophy for the third year in a row.
Sam Kerr headed in the winner at the back post in the second half but there were chances for both sides throughout an evenly-matched encounter at Bescot Stadium.
First-time semi-finalists Villa almost took the lead when Rachel Daly's effort was blocked by defender Magdalena Eriksson, before Chelsea's Eve Perisset sliced a golden opportunity over the bar on the brink of half-time.
Carla Ward's Villa side grew into the match but lacked quality in decisive moments which proved costly as they looked to cause an upset.
In contrast, Blues striker Kerr only needed one chance to make her mark, rising highest to meet Guro Reiten's cross for her 24th goal in all competitions this season.
"You can't [stop her]. I've never seen a centre forward move as much as her. It's not just a single movement. It's double movement," said Chelsea manager Emma Hayes.
"Her energy levels - it's like she's a 12-year-old. It's infectious. But I don't know a striker in world football that can do what she does. She's the best."
Kerr's decisive goal came after Villa's Alisha Lehmann had fired inches wide at the other end - and the Swiss winger had another chance later on but fizzed it across the face of the goal in the 77th minute.
Chelsea were forced to hold on in the latter stages as Villa pushed desperately for an equaliser, with full-back Sarah Mayling striking the post, but the Blues held their nerve to reach another final.
They will meet Manchester United at Wembley on 14 May after the Red Devils' dramatic late victory over Brighton on Saturday.
Chelsea find a way to win… again
This was not a vintage Chelsea performance but the Blues have been in this position several times before this season and usually found a way through.
They did so again on Sunday although Villa gave them a real test in the second half, creating a number of chances and building pressure in front of a crowd of more than 5,000.
"I think the game played exactly the way I thought it would," said Hayes.
"Villa were tremendous and gave everything to the game. That pitch is difficult to play on. I thought we looked quite leggy and Villa threw everything at us."
On-loan Manchester United winger Kirsty Hanson was the hosts' most dangerous outlet, causing havoc on the left and putting crosses into the box which team-mates Daly, Kenza Dali and Lehmann failed to capitalise on.
But Chelsea did enough to ensure their quest for a third successive FA Cup crown continues - and they remain in the hunt for three trophies this season.
"My players were absolutely outstanding and I thought were the better team if I'm really honest," said Villa boss Ward.
"We are heartbroken. It's hurting a lot because I thought we did enough to win the game. We just didn't put the chances away.
"It was probably about having calm and composure in those moments but we have been exceptional up to this point in the season and the players have given everything."
Jelena Cankovic hit the post within minutes of the restart in the second half and Kerr was denied one-on-one with goalkeeper Hannah Hampton in the final seconds of stoppage time - but Villa had the best of the chances in between.
Under manager Hayes, Chelsea have won three of the past five FA Cups and the holders will face a United side at Wembley who will be competing in their first major final.
In the meantime, the Blues' attentions turn to the Champions League where they face Barcelona in the semi-finals, while they remain in a four-way battle for the Women's Super League title.

How good is Sarah Mayling for Aston Villa this season...Aston Villa are soo unlucky not to be in the WSL title race BUT due to Arsenal and Chelsea having injuries to key first team players and if results go Aston Villa way to the end of the season they could be playing Uefa Champions League football next season.. its really a big IF.. due to the strength and depth Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City have at the moment.. but a 5th place finished isn't bad behind the big4 considering that Aston Villa were in a relegation battle in the last 2seasons.. I think a few more major key signings for next season and maybe Aston Villa can challenge for the WSL championship and a top3 finish.. Sarah Mayling should receive an England call up for having a great season to get that experience to help her become one of the English full backs in the World..
