Two teams, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, have secured their spots in the FA Cup semi-finals following thrilling quarter-final victories on Saturday.
Palace Dominates Fulham
Crystal Palace put on a commanding display at Craven Cottage, securing a 3-0 victory over Fulham. Eberechi Eze, Ismaïla Sarr, and Eddie Nketiah all found the back of the net, sealing their club’s place in the last four. The Eagles looked sharp throughout the match, with Eze’s creativity and Sarr’s pace proving too much for Fulham’s defense.
Nottingham Forest Edge Brighton in Penalty Shootout
Nottingham Forest’s quarter-final clash with Brighton was a tense battle that went all the way to a penalty shootout. After a hard-fought draw in regulation time, Forest kept their cool from the spot, advancing to the semi-finals for the first time in years.
Sunday’s Fixtures to Decide Remaining Semi-Finalists
The remaining two FA Cup quarter-final matches will take place on Sunday:
Preston vs. Aston Villa – A huge opportunity for the Championship side to cause an upset.
Manchester City vs. Bournemouth – City will be favorites, but Bournemouth will look to pull off a shock result.
Opinion: Can Palace and Forest Go All the Way?
With both Manchester City and Aston Villa still in the competition, the FA Cup semi-finals promise to be exciting. Crystal Palace’s impressive form and Nottingham Forest’s resilience make them dark horses, but can they stand up to the likes of Pep Guardiola’s City if they meet in the next round?
One thing is certain—this season’s FA Cup is full of surprises, and more drama awaits!
