Aston Villa's 2-0 victory over Cardiff City in the FA Cup fifth round was followed by two Saturday matches, with Crystal Palace overcoming Millwall 3-1 despite a concerning injury to Jean-Philippe Mateta. The match saw an early red card for Millwall's goalkeeper and ended with Palace clinching the win. Preston North End produced a surprising 3-0 victory against Burnley, marking their first quarter-final appearance since 1966. Both results ensure representation from outside the Premier League in the next round of the cup.
A worrying early injury to Jean-Philippe Mateta marred a comfortable 3-1 win for Palace, with the striker departing for hospital after taking a boot to the head.
Robbie Brady's marvellous curling free-kick put Preston ahead in the 31st minute, marking Burnley's first lost in the FA Cup since December 21.
