Report: Palace Ease into FA Cup Quarter-Finals

Crystal Palace eased past League One side Doncaster Rovers today to ensure their progression to the Emirates FA Cup quarter-finals.

The knock-out tie was won with two goals at either end of the first half, with Jeffrey Schlupp and Max Meyer combining to give the Eagles their deserved victory.

To start, playing under shade from the beating Yorkshire sun, the day's opening exchanges were as tepid as the weather until, as the match neared the end of its first 10 minutes, the Eagles' Schlupp emphatically sparked things into life.

Picking up the ball within his own half, the Palace midfielder drove with purpose towards the Rovers' backline and, looking up, fired across the box beyond the out-stretched arms of Marko Marosi to open the London side's account.
