C Palace 2 – 1 Stoke



C Palace 2 – 1 Stoke

Crystal Palace are into the FA Cup quarter-finals after substitute Jairo Riedewald scored a late winner to give them a 2-1 victory over Stoke at Selhurst Park.

The Dutchman’s first goal of the season helped the Premier League side avoid an upset against Championship Stoke to move into the last eight of the competition.

Cheikhou Kouyate gave the home side the lead in the 53rd minute, but Stoke responded just five minutes later as Josh Tymon tapped home Romaine Sawyers’ low cross.

The visitors nearly took the lead in the 79th minute after Liam Moore’s header was cleared off the line by Joachim Andersen.

Team news

  • Crystal Palace gave a first start to 18-year-old Irish defender Tayo Adaramola.
  • He was one of five changes from Saturday’s draw against Burnley, with Cheikhou Kouyate, Will Hughes, Jordan Ayew and Jean-Philippe Mateta coming in.
  • Stoke made four changes from Saturday’s defeat at Bournemouth. Romaine Sawyers returned from injury for his first game of 2022, while James Chester, Josh Tymon and Josh Maja also came in.

But three minutes later, Palace found a winner through Riedewald who was quickest to react to Stoke goalkeeper Jack Bonham’s punch as he slotted home to the relief of the Selhurst Park crowd.
