This match was a repeat of their Premier League encounter played earlier in the week prior to this meeting. There was a delay in the match in added time of the second half due to a pitch invasion by some Aston Villa supporters in a premature victory celebration before the final whistle was blown. When the referee did bring the match to a conclusion, it was reported that thousands of Villa supporters ran on to the pitch. Kick-off: 5.30pm

Comments:

A statement released by Aston Villa after the match read: "The club does not condone supporters invading the field of play under any circumstances. "We are very disappointed that what should have been a very memorable and proud moment for our fans was marred by the actions of those who could not control themselves. "They have let both themselves and their club down. "The club extends its sincere apologies to the Football Association, the West Bromwich Albion directors, manager Tony Pulis and all his staff and players." Aston Villa had now progressed in ten of the 13 FA Cup meetings with the Baggies and had been victorious in the last six occasions. This was only the Villans’ second clean sheet in their last 19 FA Cup matches. Jack Grealish was booked for the second time and consequently sent off in the second minute of added time in the second half. Leandro Bacuna was booked in the sixth minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

West Bromwich Albion had won the FA Cup five times, the last occasion was in 1968.
