It was very well-balanced.
Fulham came out at Palace and started well, but they did nothing with it.
Palace eased their way into the game.
FT: Fulham 0-3 Crystal Palace
Fulham boss Marco Silva speaking to ITV1: "One game until 25 minutes of the match, we completely dominated and we had three or four dangerous moments around their goal. We should have scored in those moments. You need to be ruthless and clinical. They are solid and compact. They set nine players around their box every single time and when we are able to create, we have to score. We didn't and we were not strong in both ends this afternoon.
On Adam Wharton avoiding a second yellow card: "For me it is clear, it's a second yellow card but we are used to these kind of situations. I prefer to say we are unlucky but it has been a long story with us. Of course VAR cannot overturn this decision but you have many eyes inside the pitch, the linesman has all the angles to see it, the fourth official. It is a clear second yellow card, definitely. It would have a massive impact on the game but against us it is always more difficult to see. We have been unlucky in these type of situations and let's hope it will be balanced at the end of the season."

You cannot give Eberechi Eze the space to cut inside. It was poor defending by Fulham.
Eze is an amazing talent and we see it there [in Eze's opening goal].

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner speaking to ITV: "Keynumber one was to survive the first 20 mins. We were really rusty after three weeks with no competitive game. We only had one training before this game with everyone coming back from the national team. The structure wasn't good and everyone struggled. Key number two was Eberechi's goal. It's unbelievable - the individual quality. Then we have the confidence and in our structure waiting for the right moments."
On Eze: "What I told him I already said to you - it was so important the first goal because we got the belief back, we were really struggling in the beginning. You need something when you're struggling in the game, some positive actions to get the belief back.
On his team's effort: "It's not fair to only talk about one player because it was such a great team effort. In the second half there was a lot of pressure because if they (Fulham) score one goal it would be a tight game again. It's a great group and everyone is here to help the team."

Fulham winger Willian: "We are sad because I think we deserve more. The first 25 minutes we controlled the game very well, we create chances to score the goal but in two counter attacks we concede two goals and it becomes more difficult to keep going. We try after that in the second half to score the goal to push but unfortunately today we did not do what we wanted because the plan was clear to go to the next stage but unfortunately not today."

Fulham would be looking at that and thinking all three goals are out of character. They will be kicking themselves that this has crept in during a quarter-final.

Once Palace started to realise that Fulham weren't hurting them, they started to do their stuff.
It was ruthless from Palace in the end.

On his goal: "I want to get the ball in the pockets and cutting inside, thank God it went in today. We took our chances when we got them and we put in a good performance.
On whether Crystal Palace have what it takes to win the FA Cup: "We're confident in ourselves and we know what we can do, we know what we are capable of. It's games like today where you show the mentality which will get you further in the tournament."

Karen Carney
Former England midfielder on ITV
There was a lack of ideas from Fulham. You have to keep probing with intensity but they just didn't do it. They will be watching the draw for the semi-final and thinking that could have been us but today is about Crystal Palace - Fulham just didn't deserve it today.
FT: Fulham 0-3 Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi speaking to ITV1: "We dug deep and got our rewards. Big credit to the manager and the staff, we make sure we are set up in the right way with real leaders on the pitch. There is resilience in the team and that's what we need.
"We'll take it one game at a time. We did what we had to do today, we focus on the league and then focus on who we get in the next round. One game at a time. We thank God for this opportunity so we will do our best to take it."

At the start of the game I thought they [Crystal Palace] were sitting off too much, but they defended very well.
With Eberechi Eze, they know he is capable of those moments.

Mark Schwarzer
Former Fulham goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
Crystal Palace are a very good side and they are very organised. Oliver Glasner has done a tremendous job and the club itself from the top to the bottom is really well done. The recruitment has been excellent and they have put a squad together alongside individual brilliance from someone like Eze.
It's exciting to watch and if you are Palace fan you must be very excited right now.

Image source, Getty ImagesPalace have been ruthless. Every time they go forward they look a massive threat and have taken their chances really well. Fulham on the other hand have been really wasteful and once they conceded those two goals in quick succession they just struggled to get going again.

Eberechi Eze's work is done. It will take something to better his goal today. He is replaced by Matheus França.
There's three minutes of stoppage time.

That didn't take long. Nathaniel Clyne has just come on but is already booked for dissent.
FA Cup highlights: Fulham 0-3 Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace stunned Fulham at Craven Cottage as they won their fifth match in a row to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
Fulham were on top for the first 30 minutes but could not take advantage of the dominance, with Rodrigo Muniz going closest for the home side.
The Eagles could barely get out of their half, before Eberechi Eze gave the visitors the lead against the run of play with an excellent strike in the 34th minute.
The England international cut in from the left and curled a beautiful low shot around Leno and in off the far post.
Eze, who scored his first England goal against Latvia in the recent international break, then had a huge part to play in the second goal when his cross was headed in at the near post by Ismaila Sarr.
Willian forced Dean Henderson into a good save but Marco Silva's side couldn't find a way back into the match, before Eddie Nketiah added a third, slotting the ball through Leno's legs.
The win means Palace have won their last five matches in a row in all competitions and are in the last four of the FA Cup for the first time since 2022.
Eze's 'absolute scorcher' puts Palace 1-0 up
Palace reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup is another step in a remarkable turnaround masterminded by manager Oliver Glasner after the Eagles' slow start to the season.
It took them nine games to win their first league match of the campaign, but now Glasner has them within touching distance of the top half of the league table, into the semi-finals of the cup and having led them to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
The Eagles are in early contract talks with Glasner and going into a summer where there will again be interest in some of their key players, securing the manager is going to be very near to the top of the list of things they need to get sorted.
Palace are well-organised in their 3-4-2-1 formation and their discpline in that shape was a big reason why they did not go behind in the first half after a huge amount of Fulham pressure.
The end of the season could be an exciting time and, having lost just two of their last 15 matches, momentum is building at the right time.
These two sides played each other just over a month ago in the league, when Palace won 2-0, but the start of today's match had a completely different feel.
Silva, who was managing his 500th game, will be disappointed that his team did not take the lead with the good opportunities they had through Muniz and Andreas Pereira in the opening half-hour.
However, after Eze gave the Eagles the lead, Fulham were not able to create many chances of note and the result went the same way as the league match.
Silva introduced Adama Traore, Emile Smith Rowe and Raul Jimenez as the home side looked for a way back into the game, but they fell further behind as they chased a goal.
Fulham are still having an excellent campaign in the league and are just three points away from a Champions League place but losing in this manner at home with a trip to Wembley on the line will hurt them for some time.

This is just the second campaign in which Fulham and Crystal Palace have met in the FA Cup, with the Eagles winning a second round replay 1-0 in February 1907 previously.
Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last six away games against Fulham (W3 D3). They’ve already won 2-0 at Craven Cottage in the Premier League this season – the only side they’ve won twice at on the road in a single campaign is Southampton in 1964-65.
Fulham progressed from all four of their FA Cup quarter-final ties between 1957-58 and 2001-02, but have since been eliminated in each of their last four appearances at this stage (2003-04, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2022-23).
Crystal Palace have progressed from four of their last five FA Cup quarter-final ties, failing only in 2018-19 against Watford in this run.
Fulham eliminated holders Manchester United in the fifth round, but haven’t knocked out Premier League opposition in consecutive rounds of the FA Cup since rounds three and four in 2002-03 (Birmingham City & Charlton Athletic).
Crystal Palace have progressed from just two of their last 10 FA Cup ties against fellow Premier League opponents, doing so against Tottenham Hotspur (2018-19 fourth round) and Everton (2021-22 quarter-final).
Fulham’s Andreas Pereira has created 18 chances in the FA Cup this season, the most of any player among the sides remaining in the competition.
Daniel Muñoz is Crystal Palace’s top scorer in the FA Cup this season with two goals, while he also scored the Eagles’ second goal in their 2-0 win at Fulham in the Premier League last month.
