Premier League Crystal Palace made light work of Championship side Millwall, who saw goalkeeper Liam Roberts sent off for a horror tackle on Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Sarr is having an excellent season for Palace and has now scored seven goals and registered three assists in 28 league games. The Senegalese international was moved into a central striking role when Eddie Nketiah was withdrawn and his chipped winning goal was an excellent piece of skill.
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner hopes to have striker Jean-Philippe Mateta back for their FA Cup quarter-final at Fulham on March 29 after suffering a horrific injury against Millwall last Saturday.
Roberts' three-game ban was doubled to six games on Friday after the English Football Association wanted him to be given extra punishment. During an FA Cup fifth-round match last Saturday, Roberts' dangerous challenge left Mateta needing 25 stitches on a severely lacerated ear.
Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts says he received abusive messages and threats for kicking Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta in the head last weekend.
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Ipswich Town at Selhurst Park (kick-off 15:00 GMT). Here are the key lines from his news conference: Jean-Philippe Mateta is "doing well" after being carried off with a head injury in their FA Cup win over Millwall.
Mateta could be the answer. The 27-year-old has scored 15 goals for Palace so far this season and while the France forward could propel the Eagles to an historic first FA Cup triumph, he is ambitious and hoping to be part of France's 2026 World Cup squad.
