Crystal Palace secured a well-deserved spot in the FA Cup semi-finals with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage, thanks to a stellar performance from Eberechi Eze.
The match started with both teams showing attacking intent, but it was Eze who broke the deadlock in the 34th minute. The English midfielder showcased his brilliance with a curling strike from just outside the box, leaving Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno helpless. Just moments later, Eze turned provider, delivering a precise cross that found Ismaila Sarr, who expertly headed the ball into the net to double Palace’s lead before halftime.
Despite Fulham's attempts to fight back in the second half, Palace remained disciplined and in control. Substitute Eddie Nketiah put the result beyond doubt in the 75th minute, calmly slotting home a well-worked team move to seal a dominant performance.
This victory marks Palace’s second FA Cup semi-final appearance in just four seasons, a testament to the club’s progress under manager Oliver Glasner. After the match, Glasner praised Eze’s game-changing abilities, emphasizing his influence on the team’s attacking play.
With momentum on their side, Palace will now prepare for a crucial semi-final clash at Wembley, as they continue their quest to lift the prestigious FA Cup trophy.
