Carew on the spot with brace

JOHN CAREW won and converted two late penalties to keep Aston Villa on course for a second Wembley final as they disposed of Crystal Palace in an FA Cup fifth round replay at Villa Park.

Villa had been stunned when Darren Ambrose’s spot-kick cancelled out Gabriel Agbonlahor’s 14th goal of the campaign.

But Carew had the final say for the Carling Cup finalists, with his double blast after both penalties were conceded by Matthew Lawrence.
