Philippe Coutinho’s goal was not enough to send Liverpool through to the FA Cup final, as they were beaten 2-1 by Aston Villa in their Wembley semi-final.

The Brazilian opened the scoring for Brendan Rodgers’ men, bursting into the box before sweeping the ball beyond Simon Mignolet.

However, Aston Villa equalised soon after Coutinho’s strike through Christian Benteke before Fabian Delph got the winning goal early in the second half.
