Palace earned a place in the semi-final of the FA Cup for the first time in three years with an impressive 3-0 win over Fulham last time out. They will have been hopeful of picking up another away win and continuing their strong end to the season against the Premier League’s bottom club.

It looked as though Crystal Palace were having a rare off night until substitute Matheus Franca popped up with a header in the second minute of added time, his first goal for the club after an injury-hit 20 months.
