Crystal Palace reached the FA Cup quarter-finals with an assured 2-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers
Jeffrey Schlupp scored on the counter-attack to give the visitors the lead in the eighth minute at the Keepmoat Stadium
Max Meyer added a second with almost the last kick of the first half and the League One side could not recover
Alfie May spurned Doncaster's best chance when he headed over from close range, but otherwise Palace held firm to book their place in Monday's quarter-final draw

Doncaster have never reached the quarter-finals and their hopes of an upset suffered an early setback when Palace countered and Schlupp finished with a deflected shot across goal
The home side did not change their approach and continued to pass the ball around nicely, but they struggled to create clear chances
May curled an effort wide while Herbie Kane toe-poked a shot at Wayne Hennessey
Palace had two decent penalty appeals for handball turned down by Mike Dean, but took control of the game with a second goal deep into first-half injury-time
Luka Milivojevic scooped a pass over the top and Andros Townsend headed across goal for Meyer to finish from a few yards out
While the goal put Palace firmly in control, Doncaster had their best spell at the start of the second half
Ben Whiteman saw a swerving shot saved by Hennessey before May headed over from close range with John Marquis waiting behind to nod home
Palace withstood the pressure and spurned chances to extend their lead as Michy Batshuayi's touch let him down when played through and Cheikhou Kouyate headed wide from a corner
Milivojevic was a calming presence in midfield for Palace and played a key role in the second goal as he lifted the ball over the top for Townsend to head across goal
Palace travel to Leicester in the Premier League next Saturday before hosting Manchester United on Wednesday, February 27
Doncaster continue their League One promotion push with trips to Scunthorpe (February 23) and Shrewsbury (February 26)
