90+2'
Guedioura just wide of the net there. I rather suspect it's too little too late for the hornets.

five minutes of extra time to be played. Oh it's tense now.
89'
Troy Deeney's frustration now showing - he's fouled Jedinak with an elbow to the face, and he's awarded a yellow card.
86'
Zaha has a crack with Adebayor's cross, but he's hit the side of the net. Palace are four minutes from an FA Cup final, however.
85'
And Connor Wickham will come off to make way for him.

And we had another substitution for Watrford - Nyom comes off to be replaced by Anya. For Palace, Adebayor is about to come on.
82'
Ighalo strikes well over the cross bar. He needs some more opportunities and he needs them very quickly, now.

Jason Puncheon has come off and Sako is coming on for Crystal palace.

Mario Suarez' late challenge earns him a yellow card.
77'
Wilfried Zaha makes a brilliant run - excellent pace. Looks very dangerous for Watford who are not there to defend, but they manage to catch up with him and it's saved.
77'
Especially when you are up against Cabaye who has looked really good today, and has made another attempt at the goal for Palace.
76'
Deeney looking to equalise with another header, but it's pretty easily dealt with by Hennessey. Watford are running out of time now.

Yannick Bolasie is leaving the pitch now to make way for McArthur

Palace are all over Watford when they find their way into the final third, but it does look like things have evened up a bit since the first half - apart from the score line, that is.
66'
Ighalo is on the floor now having been fouled by Dann. Free kick for Watford.
64'
Troy Deeney in the box, admittedly not much support but his hesitation then might well have cost Watford the game.
