Matt Maher and Jonny Drury give their take on Aston Villa's FA Cup semi-final defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace.
Villa went into the game as favourites, but were behind when Eberechi Eze lashed in a stunner in the first half.
Jean-Philippe Mateta missed a spot kick, before Ismalia Sarr rifled in a second to give Villa a mountain to climb.
They pushed but couldn't find a way back into the game, before Sarr compounded their misery in added time.
