A clinical second half double from Marco Asensio took Aston Villa into the FA Cup quarterfinals for the first time in a decade after beating plucky Cardiff City 2-0 on Friday. Cardiff’s last win at Villa Park was in 1954 and the visitor never looked like ending that long drought.

Marco Asensio sent a message on social media to Aston Villa fans following another brace with Marcus Rashford responding.
