Shay Given: Fabian Delph was "captain marvel"

Aston Villa keeper Shay Given praises the performance of Fabian Delph in guiding his side to the FA Cup final courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Wembley.

Aston Villa keeper Shay Given has hailed the performance of Fabian Delph in his side's FA Cup semi-final victory over Liverpool.

The Villans set up a clash with Arsenal on May 30 by coming from behind to defeat Brendan Rodgers's side as Delph inspired his team with a goal and an assist at Wembley.

Given told BT Sport: "I'm buzzing. The support has been amazing today, we deserved to go through, the team were great. Having belief caused Liverpool problems and that's come from the manager. He has instilled a lot of belief within the squad.

"Fabian Delph, he was captain marvel today, he has been brilliant all season. For him to score the winner is the stuff of dreams, but it's nothing more than he deserved."

Villa reached their first FA Cup final since the 1999-2000 season.
