11 min - LEI 1-0 SWA - GOAL Mahrez puts the leaders ahead after an awful error from Ashley Williams. The Welshman's clearance flies straight at Riyad Mahrez, who steadies himself before firing past Lukasz Fabianski. No Vardy? No problem.

HALF-TIME - CRY 1-0 WAT They've been well worth their lead as the teams troop off at Wembley, Bolasie's early opener the difference. Watford could do with more from Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney after the break if they are to entertain serious thoughts of returning to Wembley next month..

60 min - LEI 3-0 SWA - GOAL! Ulloa scores his second and this could turn into a rout. Schlupp tears down the left wing and rides a couple of challenges. His effort is deflected across Fabianski's exposed goal-line, where Ulloa wins the race to prod home and sent the King Power into raptures..

FULL-TIME - CRY 2-1 WAT: PALACE REACH THE FINAL! Wickham's fine header proves the difference as Alan Pardew's men set up a replay of the 1990 final against Manchester United. They've been the better side and showed more attacking intent throughout the game.

85 min - LEI 4-0 SWA - GOAL! It's party time now, substitute Demarai Gray cutting in from the right, his cross shot pushed out by Fabianski straight to Albrighton, who smashes home. What pressure?
