Eddie Nketiah powered Crystal Palace to a vital 3-1 win over Millwall in the FA Cup. His impact on the game showcased his hunger for silverware.
At just 25 years old, Nketiah brings an infectious winning mentality to the Eagles. His performance lit up the pitch and rallied his teammates.
The forward’s decisive actions shifted the momentum firmly in Palace’s favor. Every move he made resonated with confidence and purpose.
Nketiah first tasted FA Cup glory with Arsenal during the 2019-20 season. He played a key role as a substitute when Mikel Arteta’s team edged out Frank Lampard’s Chelsea 2-1 in the final.

He expressed his desire to recreate that success with Palace. “I’ve been able to experience that with Arsenal, so it would be nice to do it with Palace,” he said with conviction.

Oliver Glasner’s side will make the short trip to Fulham for the quarter-final clash later this month. They aim to build on their momentum and fight relentlessly for the trophy.
The Eagles have faced heartbreak before, losing in the final during the 1989-90 and 2015-16 seasons. A win now could finally rewrite their FA Cup history.
