Crystal Palace boss Hodgson 'very proud' to reach FA Cup quarterfinals

Crystal Palace are into the FA Cup quarterfinals after a 2-0 win at Doncaster Rovers on Sunday.

Jeffrey Schlupp scored in the eighth minute and Max Meyer headed in a second just before half-time as Palace won 2-0 at Keepmoat Stadium.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson remarked afterwards: "It's good that we are there [in the quarter-finals], I'm very proud of that.

"Today we owe an amazing debt to our fans, I don't quite know how they got there with the problems with the trains, and I thought we were playing at home for large periods of the game.

"It's not easy to quieten a crowd like Doncaster's in a game like this. We owe them a great debt of gratitude and we hope we can reward them by winning our quarter-final and hopefully getting a home tie."
