Crystal Palace to face Doncaster in FA Cup 5th round

Crystal Palace have been drawn against Doncaster in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Roy Hodgson's Palace shocked Tottenham with a 2-0 win at Selhurst Park on Sunday to knock Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs out of the competition.

Connor Wickham scored his first goal in 799 days before Andros Townsend netted a penalty against his former club to put Palace into the pot for the last 16.

The club have never won the FA Cup, twice finishing as runners-up and losing both finals to Manchester United.

The Red Devils beat Palace 1-0 in a replay back in 1990 following a dramatic 3-3 draw, and also beat the Eagles 2-1 at Wembley in 2016 courtesy of an extra-time goal from Jesse Lingard.

While there are a few big guns - Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea - left in the competition, Palace may feel that this could finally be their year with the likes of Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal exiting the competition before the last-16 stage.
