Goals from Jeffrey Schlupp and Max Meyer against Doncaster Rovers booked Crystal Palace their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday.
The Eagles headed into the clash at the Keepmoat Stadium knowing that a win would secure them their passage through to the final eight of the competition after seeing off Grimsby Town and Tottenham Hotspur in the previous rounds.
Roy Hodgson rotated his team, but they were comfortable throughout and took the lead after eight minutes as Schlupp’s deflected effort finished off a slick counter-attack from the visitors.
On the stroke of half-time, Palace doubled their lead courtesy of Meyer. Andros Townsend put Luka Milivojevic’s inch-perfect pass across to the German, who quickly dispatched.
Palace will be content with what was a routine victory against Doncaster away from home.
