Man of the match
Michael Olise’s role in this win was incredible and here some of his quotes from the post-match presser.
It was a tough start to the game, always going in the air [the ball] fighting and at half-time we said we need to respond and show our fight and that is what we done in the second half.
I think we just played, done what we know and our quality shone through.

Millwall 1-2 Crystal Palace – That was the chance!
90+5. Matt Smith was picked out at the back-post with a fantastic cross and he seemed to of hung in the air for a lifetime before sending his header goalwards.
But fortunately for Jack Butland, it was straight into the Palace goalkeepers arms.
If Millwall manager Gary Rowett wanted the ball to drop to anybody, it would have been Smith but the forward was unable to come up with the goods.
That should be it now.

Millwall 1-2 Crystal Palace – OOO Unlucky!
90+3. Shaun Hutchinson leapt up highest and connected with a brilliant header but a combination of Crystal Palace defenders put their bodies on the line to get rid of it.

85. Danny McNamara put in an exquisite cross begging for a Millwall forward to diving header it home.

Even I was throwing my head at that from behind the scree, what a cross it was.
