Aston Villa played their FA Cup quarter-final match against Championship side Preston.
The modest club held off Emery's men for almost an hour of play until Marcus Rashford took charge. The forward, on loan from Man United, first headed in Digne's cross and then converted a penalty five minutes later.
Notably, these goals were the first for the player in an Aston Villa shirt. It's worth mentioning that the 27-year-old Englishman hadn't scored since December 1 last year, when he netted twice against Everton.
The match concluded with a convincing 3-0 victory for the Birmingham club, and Villa joined Nottingham and Crystal Palace, who advanced to the semi-finals yesterday.
