Palace wins, non-league duo through
Print Edition
SAM Allardyce secured his first victory as Crystal Palace manager by reaching the fourth round of the English FA Cup on Tuesday when two non-league teams also advanced.
Palace fell behind to third-tier side Bolton Wanderers but two goals from substitute Christian Benteke clinched a 2-1 victory for Allardyce against the team he managed between 1999 and 2007.
It ended Allardyce’s five-match winless streak with Palace in all competitions.
Palace will next host Manchester City in the FA Cup, but more important for Allardyce is producing a win in the league. Palace is only out of the English Premier League relegation zone on goal difference.
Sunderland, which is next to last in the EPL, found no respite in the cup as it lost 0-2 at Burnley in an all top-flight meeting. A header from Sam Vokes before halftime was followed late in the game at Turf Moor by substitute Andre Gray’s strike.
Lincoln and Sutton, who play in the fifth tier, will both face second-tier League Championship sides in the fourth round later this month.
Lincoln stunned Championship side Ipswich with a stoppage-time goal from Nathan Arnold securing a 1-0 win to set up a meeting with Brighton.
In its first game since his death last week, Lincoln paid a memorable tribute to former player and manager Graham Taylor. Danny Cowley’s side is into the fourth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 1975-76, when it was still managed by Taylor.
Sutton knocked out 10-man AFC Wimbledon with a 3-1 victory to secure a tie against Leeds.
