Alexander Iwobi and Calvin Bassey’s Fulham Fc were disgraced out of the FA Cup at the hand of Crystal Palace with a 0-3 home loss in front of their home fans at Craven Cottage.

Crystal Palace took the lead in the 34th minute through Eberechi Eze, who skipped past his man and fired a curler past a hapless Leno in goal.

One quickly turned to two when Eberechi Eze turned provider, setting up Ismaila Sarr in the 38th minute to put the visitors two goals up going into the break and stun Craven Cottage to silence.

Eddie Nketiah added gloss to the scoreline in the 75th minute to put the visitors three goals up and truly put the game beyond Fulham Fc and Crystal palace cruised to the semi-finals of the Fa Cup.

Calvin Bassey and Alexander Iwobi just returned from international duty with Nigeria, featuring in both games against Rwanda and Zimbabwe as the Super Eagles of Nigeria failed to capitalize on seemingly weak fixtures to get their World Cup Qualification campaign back on track. The Super Eagles have 7 points from six games in this series and increasingly look as if they are set to miss their second World Cup in quick succession.
