Ismaila Sarr found the net for Crystal Palace in their FA Cup quarter-final clash against Fulham, helping his side take a commanding lead at Craven Cottage.
The Senegalese forward delivered a well-timed header from a precise cross by Eberechi Eze, doubling Palace’s advantage in a crucial knockout encounter.
After an underwhelming spell with the Senegal national team during the recent international break, Sarr swiftly rediscovered his form upon returning to club action.
The 26-year-old winger, who has been a key figure for Crystal Palace this season, made an immediate impact in Saturday’s high-stakes match.
His goal, a clinical header in the first half, marked his ninth strike of the campaign and underscored his attacking prowess.
Crystal Palace, determined to secure a place in the semi-finals, went into the break with a 2-0 lead, putting them in a strong position against their London rivals.
Sarr’s contribution added to an impressive team performance, as the Eagles showcased their attacking intent and defensive resilience.
With just 45 minutes remaining, Palace remain in control of their FA Cup destiny. A victory would see them advance to the final four, keeping their hopes alive for a shot at silverware this season.
Sarr’s performance will undoubtedly boost his confidence as he continues to play a pivotal role for both club and country.
