Aston Villa 2-1 Liverpool - FA Cup Semi Final | Goals & Highlights

Aston Villa will play in their first FA Cup Final for 15 years after coming from behind to beat Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley Stadium. On a crisp spring afternoon in north-west London seven-time winners Liverpool never truly found their feet but took the lead through Philippe Coutinho on the half-hour mark. However, Villa, who were positive and confident throughout, hit back. First through Christian Benteke and then Fabian Delph – as Tim Sherwood’s side secured a famous victory under the arch. Liverpool’s stuttering performance may have been caused an enforced change of style. A thigh injury sustained by Lucas Leiva late in the week meant Brendan Rodgers had to reshuffle his starting line-up. The Liverpool manager opted for an unorthodox six-man midfield. He named three centre forwards on the bench and fielded Gerrard and Coutinho in advanced roles in front of a deeper midfield four. And Aston Villa settled into the contest first, as Liverpool struggled to find rhythm in their passing and adjust to the new system.
