Goals from Michael Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta helped Crystal Palace came from behind to defeat Millwall 2-1 in an FA Cup third round South London derby at The Den.
The Lions took the lead inside 20 minutes when Benik Afobe dispossessed Jack Butland in his own six-yard box before firing into the empty net.
The visitors came out of the traps in frightening fashion after the interval, as Michael Olise cut inside and curled into the far post in the opening minute of the second-half.
Olise nearly scored in almost identical fashion a few minutes later, when the midfielder cut in on his left foot once again but struck the post with his effort.
Patrick Vieira’s side took the lead just before the hour mark as Olise sent an in-swinging cross into the box which was met by the head of Mateta.
The hosts enjoyed a bright spell in the last 20 minutes of the game, going close in injury-time when Matt Smith headed into the hands of Butland.
