Check out our Crystal Palace player ratings vs Doncaster as the Eagles claimed a 2-0 victory in the FA Cup fourth round.
Crystal Palace Cruise Past Doncaster
Crystal Palace are through to the FA Cup fifth round after goals from Daniel Munoz and Justin Devenny ensured a comfortable 2-0 win over Doncaster at the Eco-Power Stadium.
Oliver Glasner’s side will now face south London rivals Millwall at Selhurst Park on the weekend of Saturday 1 March. Victory against The Lions will ensure Palace’s first quarter-final appearance since 2022.
Munoz continued his fine season in front of goal when he netted the opener after 31 minutes. The Colombian defender reacted fastest after Jean-Philippe Mateta’s effort struck the post and he prodded into an unguarded net.
Northern Irish international Devenny lobbed home after a fine Will Hughes through-ball eluded the Rovers defence on the 55th minute. That strike was the 21-year-old’s second in all competitions this season.
Glasner will be proud of his side’s efforts in South Yorkshire. The Premier League club faced a potential banana skin but banished those doubts with a mature and professional performance.
Crystal Palace Player Ratings Vs Doncaster (3-4-2-1)
Matt Turner – 7
The American shot-stopper didn’t have a huge amount to do but pulled off three saves to thwart Doncaster. Can expect to be busier against Millwall.
Marc Guehi – 7
A relatively quiet night for the England centre-back but showed his Premier League class when required. Earned his crust and kept a clean sheet.
Maxence Lacroix – 7
Similar to Guehi, the burly defender wasn’t called into action on too many occasions. Kept his marker under wraps and did what he had to with minimal fuss.
Chris Richards – 7
Another solid display from the 24-year-old who looks very much at home alongside Lacroix and Guehi. Defended well and helped support the attack.
Tyrick Mitchell – 7
Playing at left-wing back showed glimpses of his talents before coming off at the break. Will need to up the ante slightly to keep Ben Chilwell at bay.
Will Hughes – 8
Our Player of the Match who provided a beautiful assist for Justin Devenny’s goal. Looked cool, calmed and composed throughout and bossed the midfield.

Adam Wharton – 6
May feel hard done by to get a six but the England man is still finding his form and fitness after being out injured for so long. Put in a fine shift before going off.
Daniel Munoz – 8
Another super showing from the Colombian international. Reacted first after Mateta’s effort hit the post and was rightfully applauded when he went off late on.
Justin Devenny – 7
A brilliant lobbed finish put the game beyond doubt. Looked very lively and creative throughout and can be proud of his efforts.
Daichi Kamada – 7
Another Eagle who soared high and looked enthusiastic and productive. Linked up well with Devenny and caused Donny a few problems.
Jean-Philippe Mateta – 7
After his recent good form in front of goal, had a slightly subdued performance. Was unlucky to rattle the post from a smart free-kick which was eventually knocked in by Munoz.
