Crystal Palace played Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinal match on Sunday. It was a credit to Palace that they got this far; they seem to do well in the FA Cup. They actually took Manchester United to extra time in the FA Cup final a few years ago. (I hadn't realized that one of the big FA Cup surprises was Wigan Athletic defeating Manchester City 1-0 about a decade ago. So it can happen. Doesn't happen very often, though. I checked on the history of this; Wigan won the FA Cup and got relegated out of the Premier League during the same season. Ouch. And they've been on a downhill slide since. )
Not this time. They were well outplayed by Chelsea, and it seemed that they were playing to get to the shootout. That didn't work, and they lost 2-0. So the final will be between two Premier League elites, Chelsea and Liverpool.
