Gerard Deulofeu netted a brace to inspire Watford to a 3-2 comeback victory over Wolves to reach the FA Cup final.

Goals from Matt Doherty and Raul Jimenez put Wolves 2-0 up but Deulofeu’s first and a 90th-minute penalty from Troy Deeney sent the tie to extra-time, where the Spaniard struck again to send the Hornets to only their second FA Cup final.

Here, we take a look at some of the best photographs from Sunday’s semi-final clash at Wembley.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
