What a dramatic FA Cup semi-final we’ve witnessed at Wembley today. 2-0 down with 11 minutes left to 3-2 winners. Javi Gracia’s side will meet Manchester City in next month’s final. 30: Two minutes of added time to be played. Watford 120 seconds from the most unlikely of FA Cup finals. 29: WHAT!? Unbelievable! Substitute Cavaleiro gets in behind the Watford defence before leaving Gomes stranded with a superb piece of skill. He looks certain to score but the ball is trapped under his feet and he’s missed it. That really was the magic moment for Wolves. 28: Was that the chance? I think It might have been. Wolves finally piece together a moment of quality in extra time down the left channel but Jimenez was unable to control inside the six-yard box. 27: Free-kick to Wolves with two minutes left on the clock… nope. The knock-down is hoofed to the moon by Doucoure. 25: Perhaps I was a bit harsh on Gerard Deulofeu. He’s down again looking in considerable pain after a knee-on-knee clash. In fact, the substitute is substituted for Sema. So he’s been dropped, brought on, scored twice and now injured. Crazy. 23: Crafty tactics from brace hero Gerard Deulofeu hits the deck injured having conceded a corner. Wolves fans are booing their lungs out as Michael Oliver tells the winger to get up. 20: Adama Traore has embarked on a couple of runs forward. Standard Traore result though as the rapid winger runs into trouble. 17: Watford wait two minutes before making a change. Femenia off, Janmaat on. How long has he had a shaved head for? Anyway… 15: Quick intake of water and a substitution and we’re back underway. Vinagre on for Jonny. WATFORD 3-2 WOLVES HT: Wow. Just wow. Wolves, who had a two-goal lead with 11 minutes of normal time remaining, trail Watford at Wembley. Gerard Deulofeu is the undisputed hero of the hour. 15 minutes left for Wolves to respond. WATFORD 3-2 WOLVES | DEULOFEU 14: You are jok
