Emmanuel Adebayor hails "beautiful" FA Cup win

Emmanuel Adebayor airs his delight at seeing Crystal Palace book their place in the final of the FA Cup following victory over Watford at Wembley.

Emmanuel Adebayor has described Crystal Palace's victory over London rivals Watford in the FA Cup semi-final as a "beautiful" result for the club.

The Eagles set up a meeting with Manchester United in next month's final by claiming a 2-1 win at Wembley Stadium on Sunday evening.

Palace took a risk of sorts when signing Adebayor in January on a free transfer, but the Togo international - previously linked with a move to Watford - has played his part in what is turning into a memorable cup run.

"For me it's beautiful," he told BBC Sport. "I came back here six months and have a chance to play in the final for this beautiful club. I am so glad we have made it.

"The manager convinced me to come and play for the Eagles. I am very happy to be part of this team. Against Manchester United it's going to be a beautiful one."

Connor Wickham headed home the winning goal on the hour mark after Troy Deeney had cancelled out Yannick Bolasie's early opener.
