Crystal Palace coach Roy Hodgson has heaped praises on winger Jeffrey Schlupp as he helped the club progress to the FA Cup quarter-final.
The Eagles defeated Doncaster Rovers 2-0 at the Keepmoat Stadium to eliminate the League One side from the competition.
Â
The Ghanaian was at the heart of everything good about Crystal Palace as he shot his outfit into the lead firing the ball into the bottom corner via a deflection before Max Mayer increased the tally for the visitors.
Crystal Palace have now reached the quarter-final stage of the FA Cup for the second time in the last four seasons.
Roy Hodgson whose team awaits today's' draw was full of praise for Schlupp.
Â
"He’s been fantastic this season, especially these last games. It was another important goal, his fifth and that’s not bad coming from midfield, playing in a position where he has to do a lot of defending."
Â
"It was a cracking goal, to run from two yards in your own half, hold the ball that long, hold off challenges then strike it as well as he did was a great start for us."
Â
Â
Schlupp in his post match interview said "It was tough, we’d seen their form and we knew it was going to be tough. But we are pleased to have won, and we scored two good goals.
Â
"We knew if we got past this we’d be in a good position to get to Wembley. It’s a great tournament but if we get a lesser team, so to speak, we have a great chance."
Â
Schlupp has scored 5 goals for Crystal Palace in all competitions this season.
