Player ratings as Rashford brace sends Villans to Wembley


An outbreak in the second half from Aston Villa plunged a spirited Preston North End on Sunday afternoon when the Premier League visitors at the UNAI Emery finally declined for a 3-0 quarter-final victory of the FA Cup.

The only championship team that made it into the last eight of the FA Cup was also hindered by an injury crisis in the entire squad. Paul Heckingbottom’s team, however, started her first quarter -final appearance positive since 1966 and frustrated her top visitors.

In the first half, the villa was limited to just one stubborn Ezri Konsa headball, while Stefan Thordarson wasted his own golden aviation in the first half hour.

Marcus Rashford creates two chances of breaking the Deadlock after the interval before taking out the lower corner in the 59th minute. Manchester United’s borrower was confident about Lucas Digne’s Low Cross and scored his first goal in the colors of Aston Villa.

After waiting for six weeks, nine games and 520 minutes to break his duck for the villa, he completed his bracket within 300 seconds. Morgan Rogers fell under a faulty stamp by Andrew Hughes and won a penalty that his compatriot had converted cool.

Jacob Ramsey brought the advantage of visitors home with a Buccaneering striker to book Villa’s Place in the semi-finals of the next month.
