Devenny downs Doncaster as Crystal Palace sail through to FA Cup fifth round Crystal Palace successfully navigated a tricky FA Cup tie against Doncaster Rovers to set up a tantalising fifth-round clash with Millwall.
Wharton’s impressive return was brought to a conclusion while Devenny was also substituted to a standing ovation from Palace’s travelling support, who had unfurled a pre-match banner making it abundantly clear to the FA how they felt about this tie being played on a Monday evening.
On a wet and wild evening in south Yorkshire against a Doncaster side pushing for automatic promotion from League Two, this had all the hallmarks of a sticky evening’s work for Palace.
Just when it looked as though the hosts were starting to build some momentum, the visitors struck a decisive blow on the counter as Will Hughes’ inch-perfect through ball found Devenny, who scooped the ball over Teddy Sharman-Lowe to double Palace’s lead.
However, goals either side of half-time courtesy of Daniel Muñoz and Justin Devenny were enough to see off Grant McCann’s men, who gave Palace plenty of problems on the night.
