Stiliyan Petrov sliced a dilemma in to his own net to give Pompey the lead but a notation after Emile Heskey ran by on idea to thinly slice Villa level.
James Milner’s expostulate put the visitors brazen and Downing’s second-half header seemed to have staid the tie.
A Kanu set upon gave Portsmouth idea but Ashley Young’s idea out it.
Pompey trainer Avram Grant’s final diversion as a physical education instructor in this foe was a better to Tottenham in the 2008 final during his time at Chelsea.

From a Young short throw-in Milner was given space to spin prior to unleashing a glorious 18-yard expostulate that flog Asmir Begovic for gait and found the bottom far corner.
Grant’s difference at half-time had a manifest outcome on the home side as, they were far some-more rival in the second half as a outcome of an increasing dash to their play.
Rarely were they means to interpret earnest situations in to goalscoring opportunities and the clarity that Villa need usually up their diversion to finish the tie was realised with fifteen mins remaining.
Petrov found Young in space on the Villa right and his cranky flog the collected players in the 6 behind yard box prior to being met by Downing, whose header crept in notwithstanding the efforts of Pompey screw Begovic.
It was a wise prerogative for a player who has endured a frustrating 4 months as a Villa player given his summer move from Middlesbrough since of a damaged foot.
Grant rught divided introduced Piquionne in an try to get behind in to the diversion and he roughly did so with his initial hold but Guzan saved great from the Frenchman’s header.
Minutes later, an additional Portsmouth surrogate Kanu gave the home side idea of a late comeback.
Younes Kaboul sent a prolonged round brazen that was chested down by Hermann Hreidarsson for the Nigerian striker to container in past Guzan.
However, Villa were not to be denied what would be deserved feat and inside of dual mins their dual idea pillow was easy and their semi-final place booked.
Gabriel Agbonlahor flog Kaboul on the right and supposing a cranky that flog Hreidarsson and found Young who was means to carry out and finish in to the roof tiles of the net.

“We played with players who didn’t fool around in the final game. That’s great for them since we will need to have use of them after in the season.
“A couple of of them did well. Some of the others will have to wait for for the subsequent game.”
Aston Villa physical education instructor Martin O’Neill:
“I was unequivocally gratified with him (Downing). What gratified me many was his capability on the ball.
