Crystal Palace 3-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Danny Butterfield's stunning six-minute hat-trick dumped Barclays Premier League side Wolves out of the FA Cup.

The defender turned striker, who had scored just one goal in his previous six seasons, hit a second-half treble to secure administration-hit Crystal Palace a lucrative visit from Aston Villa in the fifth round.

Karl Henry pulled one back with a minute to go, but Wolves can now concentrate on their top-flight survival bid.
