Goals from Yannick Bolasie and Connor Wickham sent Crystal Palace into the FA Cup final at Watford's expense.
Crystal Palace edged Watford 2-1 at Wembley to book an FA Cup final date with Manchester United and revenge mission for Alan Pardew.
Palace's only previous final appearance came against United in 1990, after Pardew's extra-time goal scoring heroics at the semifinal stage, but the Eagles were runners-up after a replay.
They made the showpiece fixture in calmer fashion this time around, Yannick Bolasie putting them ahead early in a first half that swiftly degenerated into a tense affair.
