[Trending News] Doncaster Rovers 0-2 Crystal Palace: Premier League side progress into fifth round

Crystal Palace moved into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a comfortable victory at League Two Doncaster Rovers.

Daniel Munoz tapped in the opener for the visitors when Jean-Philippe Mateta’s effort, from a well-worked free-kick, struck the post and rebounded into his path off home forward Billy Sharp.

Midfielder Justin Devenny added the second for Oliver Glasner’s side after the break, running on to Will Hughes’ lofted pass and superbly lobbing Doncaster goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe.

The Northern Ireland international’s goal arrived just as Grant McCann’s team were enjoying their best spell of the match against opponents who are 58 places above them in the English football pyramid.

Winger Luke Molyneux carried Doncaster’s biggest threat fizzing a first-half effort just wide of the right post and curling a second-half shot just over the bar.

Sharp blasted a fierce effort straight at Palace goalkeeper Matt Turner from just inside the penalty area while Owen Bailey’s late prodded effort also tested the American.

However, the Eagles who will now host Millwall on the weekend of 1 and 2 March, had few other difficult moments to navigate on a wet evening in South Yorkshire.
