Crystal Palace advance in FA Cup

DONCASTER, England:

Crystal Palace beat League 2 side Doncaster Rovers 2-0 in the FA Cup yesterday to set up a fifth-round tie at home to Millwall.

The London side play three divisions above Doncaster but it took 31 minutes to get the opener thanks to a neat training ground play.

Daichi Kamada's free kick was passed along the ground to Jean-Philippe Mateta and although his attempt hit the post, Daniel Munoz was on hand to tap in the rebound.

Doncaster showed signs they might launch a comeback at the start of the second half but those hopes were dealt a blow in the 55th when Northern Ireland international Justin Devenny ran on to a superb flighted pass from Will Hughes and deftly lobbed the goalkeeper.

Although Doncaster kept plugging away, the gulf in the divisions was evident and Palace controlled the game to its conclusion.

Palace will face Championship side Millwall over the March 1-2 weekend.

PLYMOUTH VS MAN CITY

Plymouth's reward for knocking out Liverpool was to draw Manchester City yesterday in the fifth round.

Plymouth -- on the bottom of division two -- shocked English Premier League leaders Liverpool 1-0 on Sunday. For their next trick, they have to go to Etihad Stadium on March 1 to face Pep Guardiola's City, the four-time defending league champions.

Holders Manchester United are at home to Fulham in one of three all-Premier League matchups. Newcastle host Brighton, and Bournemouth are at home to Wolverhampton.

Aston Villa play second-tier Cardiff. Burnley, who are chasing promotion to the Premier League, travel to Preston.

Exeter and Nottingham Forest play today for the chance to host Ipswich.
