2-1

"We want more, but we're doing ok. I want to win silverware for the club, I want a cup run, I was very frustrated when we got knocked out of Carabao Cup, fans deserve to be at Wembley. That's something that I really want for this club.

"Everyone expects you to perform and everyone is waiting for you to make a mistake, saying 'that's the best 'keeper making mistakes'. We are struggling to keep clean sheets and that’s hurting me a lot because I demand a lot in myself."

Emi Martinez pre-match.



"People don’t remember, I've had three injuries since the season started but I've not missed a lot of games, which is important. No player is coming back from injury with their confidence levels over the moon. It's going to take them time."

Leon Bailey pre-match.



"First half, they were very, very compact. At HT, gaffer made couple tactical changes, took Bouba on side to play a little free & create overload on the side.

“Once we got there, we did pretty well, so I’m very happy with the performance tonight.

“Really special. Right way to celebrate it for fans. They came tonight supporting us, giving us extra cheer we needed, really grateful for that.

“I really needed this energy & goal. Little stare [celebration] was to let them [Villa fans] know I’m back!"

Amadou Onana post-match.



“I'm spending my life here, at the moment two years & hopefully for a long time.

“Hopefully, sharing w/ our supporters everything for history they had & trying to do something important now.

“Very proud of history they have & of course history we can do.”

Unai Emery pre-match.



"In England the competition means a lot. It is the oldest cup - you always want to do well in this competition.

"I have good memories in the FA Cup. Having won it before [with Leicester] I know who special it is - to do it again would be amazing.

"The club has a big history and when I joined I knew it from the start.

"The way the club is run at the moment is really good and we want to make the club proud."

Youri Tielemans pre-match.




"The history of this cup is important and of course, it is a way for us to get a trophy.

"Seven times Aston Villa have won [the FA Cup] and we have to focus on this competing as well.

"They are going to be motivated and this competition has been important - we want to be a protagonists in this competition.

"We have to try connect with our supporters."

Unai Emery pre-match.



**Unai, your thoughts on the performance and win?**

"We have to respect the opponent and they started performing well and we conceded an easy goal. We had to accept it. Our challenge in every match we’re facing is to try to defend our goal better.

"After their goal we started to dominate the match better than the first 25 minutes, not really creating very good chances to score but stopping them in the transition. We were pushing them in their build up and then we needed to be patient to try to impose and be consistent in our attack.

"I think it’s good because today we were trying to play for this anniversary, 150 years, and with the supporters trying to share this moment. This club won this competition seven times. We need to be proud of our past but be protagonists in the present and the future. It’s very hard to get to the final and win this competition, but we have to focus on each match and really face each team and show our wishes to do something here and now we’re happy."

**How is Martinez?**

"He was injured. It’s a small injury. He was not 100 per cent ready to play. We decided to play Robin Olsen."

**Do you expect him back next week?**

"I think so, but we will need to check him more."
**What about Ross Barkley?**

"He had a small injury in his calf, hopefully not a lot. Tomorrow we will check him but normally two or three weeks out."

**You went from back to front very quickly for that second goal…**

"We are trying to be clinical in our process in case the opponent faces us, sometimes we can’t get into the attacking third quick, sometimes slow. We always have to be comfortable in how we can control the game, we can score with two passes or 20 and that’s really important for us.

"Try to dominate with keeping ball possession as long as possible. This is the most difficult way to choose for the players on the field, we are trying to be demanding how we want to dominate and then try to play with this idea strongly. "

**What did you make of Graham Potter’s first game in charge of West Ham?**

"I think he had one day with the team and his idea we knew before with Chelsea and Brighton. He’s not a new coach for us, he has had these experiences and work before and he will do the same here, he can have the same impact here."
