Glasner agrees Palace are closer to first piece of silverware

It is just the third time the Eagles have reached an FA Cup final in their history - having lost to Manchester United on both occasions in 1989-90 and 2015-2016

Oliver Glasner conceded that Crystal Palace were at least mathematically more likely to secure their first major silverware after they booked their place in the FA Cup final with a 3-0 triumph over Aston Villa at Wembley.

Ismaila Sarr recorded a second-half brace after Eberechi Eze opened the scoring in the 31st minute, though the winning margin could have been even greater had Jean-Philippe Mateta not missed a penalty after the break.
