Villa beat Preston in the FA Cup quarter-finals to move a step closer to a first major trophy success since 1996.

Former Aston Villa player Ian Taylor told BBC 5 Live Breakfast he believes Unai Emery is "one of the best out there" after the Spaniard oversaw his side's 3-0 FA Cup quarter-final win over Championship side Preston North End. Having not taken home the FA Cup since 1957, Taylor is hoping his old team can make it happen in May.

Unai Emery says he is yet to make a decision on signing Marcus Rashford permanently after he finally scored his first Aston Villa goals in the FA Cup. Villa have booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals after easing to a 3-0 victory at Preston North End on Sunday.

Aston Villa striker Marcus Rashford scored twice in a 3-0 defeat of second-tier Preston North End in their FA Cup quarter-final at Deepdale on Sunday to earn a Wembley semi-final against fellow Premier League team Crystal Palace.
