London, March 20 (BNA): Crystal Palace reached the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 2016 by beating Everton 4-0 on Sunday, the Associated Press reported.
Marc Guehy, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Wilfried Zaha and Will Hughes scored at Selhurst Park for Palace, who joined Chelsea in the squad for the final square.
The two remaining quarter-final matches will be played later on Sunday: Southampton vs Manchester City and second division Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool.
It was a sobering test for Frank Lampard’s Everton after their recent 1-0 win over Newcastle on Thursday boosted their chances of avoiding relegation from the Premier League.
After a frantic start to the match, Everton were stunned by the improvement for Palace’s side heading to next month’s semi-finals at Wembley under Patrick Vieira, who has won the FA Cup on five occasions as a player – four times with Arsenal and the Premier League. Once upon a time with Man City.
For Guihe, the centre-back who scored the opening goal, it was a perfect way to celebrate England’s first call-up this week ahead of the friendlies against Switzerland and Cote d’Ivoire.
