With Villa in search of a late goal to keep the contest alive, they were again outdone by Palace’s excellent pressing.

This time it was substitute Eddie Nketiah who won the ball back for the Eagles, before releasing Sarr to produce a ruthless finish past Martinez.

“Aston Villa were caught on the ball because of the pressure that Palace have put them under,” said Shearer.

The final whistle which followed soon after was met by a cacophony of noise and wild celebrations from the Palace fans.

Glasner was asked afterwards to describe the scenes in the Eagles dressing room at full-time and the Austrian mentioned there was a lot of dancing among the players.

“Did I dance? No,” he said. “This is a great moment but when I start dancing I destroy this moment, so it’s probably best I don’t dance.”

So, should Wembley be used for FA Cup semi-finals?

If goals and moments like these can be guaranteed, who – besides Villa fans, perhaps – would dream of moving them anywhere else?
