Crystal Palace have made English football history after beating Fulham in the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday.
Goals from Eberechi Eze, Ismaila Sarr and Eddie Nketiah saw the Eagles book their place at Wembley for the last four, where Nottingham Forest have since joined them after knocking Brighton out on penalties.
It was a fantastic win by Crystal Palace – one Oliver Glasner will be incredibly proud of – and the south Londoners have actually set a landmark in English football by not conceding to the Cottagers.
Crystal Palace make English football history
The 3-0 win at Fulham was Crystal Palace’s sixth away victory in a row without conceding a goal.
According to Opta, no other English side has ever achieved such a feat at this level of the sport.

Remarkably, Crystal Palace have scored 13 goals in these six away games, so Glasner has not just been scraping six consecutive 1-0 wins away from Selhurst Park, although even that would be impressive.
- Leicester City 0-2 Crystal Palace
- West Ham United 0-2 Crystal Palace
- Manchester United 0-2 Crystal Palace
- Doncaster Rovers 0-2 Crystal Palace
- Fulham 0-2 Crystal Palace
- Fulham 0-3 Crystal Palace
With a trip to Southampton – bottom of the Premier League on just nine points – to come for Crystal Palace on Wednesday, the Eagles have a decent chance of extending this record even further.

Oliver Glasner could see his Crystal Palace side picked apart
Winning the FA Cup is one task for Glasner, but keeping this electric Crystal Palace side together will be another very tough job for the Austrian and Steve Parish to manage.
TBR Football understand Chelsea want Marc Guehi back – while Tottenham are also chasing the England international after making a bid on deadline day in February.
Furthermore, Manchester United want Jean-Philippe Mateta as contract talks stall for the Frenchman in SE25, while Tottenham are keen to sign Eberechi Eze too.
Elsewhere, Adam Wharton is hot property after his rise to stardom in south London, so Crystal Palace risk losing some top players this summer.
