Watford will play Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley after a dramatic 3-2 extra-time semi-final success over Wolves.

Javi Gracia's side had been 50-1 at the start of the competition and they are now 4-1 to lift the cup with City, who beat Brighton 1-0 on Saturday, red-hot 2-11 favourites.

Watford looked down and out in the semi-final, trailing 2-0 with 11 minutes remaining, but a gorgeous Gerard Deulofeu chip gave them hope and talisman Troy Deeney forced extra-time with a last-gasp penalty.

Substitute Deulofeu was the Hornets' hero, notching the decisive goal to break Wolves hearts and land a date with City on May 18.

It was a near each-way miss for those who backed Wolves at 40-1 on third-round weekend and bet365 rated Wanderers 1-250 in-play to reach their first FA Cup final since 1960 when they led 2-0 with goals from Matt Doherty and Raul Jimenez.

City, 250-1 with Betfred for the quadruple ante-post, are 4-1 to land a clean sweep of trophies this season. They have won their last ten matches against Watford by an aggregate 32-6.
