Crystal Palace overcame a London rival to advance to the semifinals of the FA Cup on Saturday with a convincing 3-0 result over Fulham FC at Craven Cottage.

It was a Man of the Match performance from Eberechi Eze that launched The Eagles to victory and Senegal national team star Ismaïla Sarr also contributed with a goal to put the visitors beyond reach. Eze opened the scoring in the 34th minute before crossing for Sarr to finish a few minutes later.

Fulham attempted to mount a comeback in the second half but were matched by a strong effort after the break from their opponents. Palace put the match beyond doubt with Eddie Nketiah's goal in the 75th minute.

Sarr continues to have a strong season since joining Palace from Olympique de Marseille ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. The 27-year-old now has eight goals and four assists in all competitions this season.
