Michael Olise netted his third Palace goal after scoring off the bench against Leicester and West Ham in the leagueMichael Olise inspired a Crystal Palace turnaround to spare Jack Butland's blushes and help the Premier League side avoid an FA Cup shock at Millwall.
Former England goalkeeper Butland's howler gifted Benik Afobe the opener as Millwall deservedly led at the break.
But lively Olise, an £8m summer signing from Reading, curled home a wonderful leveller and crossed for Jean-Philippe Mateta to head home Palace's winner.
The game was marred, however, by some unsavoury scenes off the pitch.
A section of the home crowd discernibly booed Palace players taking the knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement before kick-off.
There were also audible homophobic chants directed at Palace's on-loan Chelsea attacker Conor Gallagher, while a bottle thrown from the stands struck Olise as he prepared to take a corner.
More to follow.
