The visitors frustrated Villa, with goalkeeper Ethan Horvath making some crucial saves. It wasn’t until the 68th minute that Villa finally broke through.

From that moment, it was all Villa. Cardiff struggled to respond, and just 12 minutes later, Asensio struck again. This time, it was Leon Bailey with the assist, playing a smart pass that Ollie Watkins cleverly let roll past him, allowing Asensio to slot the ball home with precision. That sealed the deal—Villa were through!
Marcus Rashford was a standout performer, creating six chances in the match, the most he’s ever managed in a single game. His link-up play with Asensio is proving to be a game-changer for Unai Emery’s side. Rashford looked confident and happy on the pitch, something Villa fans will love to see.
Meanwhile, Cardiff had a tough night. They managed only three shots the entire game, with just one on target. Emiliano MartÃnez barely had to make a save, while Villa dominated with 24 shots and 68% possession. It was a professional and controlled display from Emery’s men.
With this victory, Aston Villa march into the quarter-finals, and their FA Cup dreams are still alive. The way they played tonight, they’ll be a tough team to beat in the next round. Up the Villa!
