Crystal Palace secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday, advancing to the FA Cup semifinals. Eberechi Eze was instrumental in the win, contributing a goal and an assist.
Eze opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a precise shot from the edge of the area that found the bottom corner. Just four minutes later, he delivered a well-placed cross that Ismaïla Sarr headed in at the near post, doubling Palace's lead. Substitute Eddie Nketiah sealed the victory in the 75th minute, slotting the ball through goalkeeper Bernd Leno's legs.
Despite Fulham's early dominance in possession and attacking intent, they struggled to create clear-cut opportunities against Palace's resilient defense. This win marks Palace's second FA Cup semifinal appearance in four seasons, as they continue their pursuit of the club's first major silverware.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner praised his team's performance, highlighting their confidence and capability. The victory also extends Palace's impressive form, with 11 wins in their past 14 matches and six consecutive away victories without conceding a goal.
