Crystal Palace 2-1 Stoke City: Jairo Riedewald sends Eagles into FA Cup quarter-finals

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira said his players' concentration was not good enough and Stoke "wanted it more than us" after seeing his side reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Jairo Riedewald scored a late winner as Palace struck with their only two shots on target to beat the Championship side.

"The concentration was not at the level I wanted to compete in the game," Vieira told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"They wanted it more than us. They won a lot of second balls and duels. They competed more than us. At half-time we came back with better attention but when you're not into the game at the start it's hard to get back into it.

"This is something that happens a little bit too often. We need to compete more and start games better. Players need to perform if they want to start games. If you don't play well that gives me an easier decision to make."

Palace led when Jean-Philippe Mateta's deflected shot landed to Cheikhou Kouyate, who hammered the ball into the top corner from six yards out.

Josh Tymon levelled for Stoke moments later after good play by Romaine Sawyers on his return from injury.

Substitute Riedewald slotted in the winner after Jack Bonham punched away Conor Gallagher's cross.

The draw for the quarter-finals will be on Thursday at about 19:45 GMT.

Palace - who handed a full debut to teenage Irish defender Tayo Adaramola - were made to work hard by Stoke in a close game that had very few clear-cut chances.

Steven Fletcher's ambitious volley in injury time was stopped by Jack Butland for the only save of the game by either goalkeeper.

One of the best chances saw Palace defender Joachim Andersen head Liam Moore's 20-yard lob off the line.

Palace boss Vieira, who won four FA Cups for Arsenal and one with Manchester City, is now only two games away from the first cup final of his managerial career.

Stoke City boss Michael O'Neill to BBC Sport: "At the very least [we deserved to go to extra time]. I think for a period in the second half we were the better team. There was very little in the first half.

"The first goal wasn't a corner. We have all the technology to see if it's a goal. Having seen it back, the Palace player's shot doesn't come off James Chester. We felt harshly done by.

"At 1-1 we looked the team more likely to win. Unfortunately we can't defend the corner. It lands to the feet of their lad. It comes through a crowd of bodies and ends in the bottom corner and that's why we're out of the cup."
