Silva on Fulham FA Cup win at Manchester Utd

Ebereche Eze was at the heart of a Crystal Palace clinic as the Eagles soared past Fulham to book their place in the FA Cup semi-finals.

After holding off a bright Cottagers start, Palace began to threaten and after Jefferson Lerma was denied an awe-inspiring volley by the crossbar, the visitors took the lead through a delightful curled effort from Eze.

Eze then turned provider four minutes later to set up Ismaila Sarr, who headed in from close range to give Palace breathing space before the break.

Palace looked comfortable in the second half and kept Fulham from ever really threatening before Eddie Nketiah sealed Palace's trip to Wembley with 15 minutes to go, topping off a perfect afternoon for Oliver Glasner's side.

Glasner hails Eze's 'unbelievable individual quality'

“Eberechi's goal, it's unbelievable - the individual quality,” Oliver Glasner told ITV. “Then we have the confidence and in our structure waiting for the right moments."

"What I told him, it was so important the first goal because we got the belief back, we were really struggling in the beginning. You need something when you're struggling in the game, some positive actions to get the belief back.

“It's not fair to only talk about one player because it was such a great team effort. In the second half there was a lot of pressure because if they (Fulham) score one goal it would be a tight game again. It's a great group and everyone is here to help the team."
