Schlupp, Ayew feature as Crystal Palace shock Tottenham Hotspur to reach FA Cup fifth round

Ghanaian duo Jeffrey Schlupp and Jordan Ayew were both in action for Crystal Palace as they stunned Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the English FA Cup on Sunday.

Jeffrey Schlupp played an instrumental role for the Eagles as he helped The Eagles into the fifth round of the cup competition.

The 26-year-old midfielder lasted the entire duration of an exciting game at the Selhurst Park.

Palace took the lead by the round of play in the ninth minute through Connor Wickham, who slotted a rebound into the net from close range after goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga parried away Schlupp's first effort.

Andros Townsend made it 2-0 from the spot in the 34th minute after Kyle Walker-Peters handled the ball in the box.

Tottenham had a glorious opportunity to halve the deficit a minute to half-time but Kieran Trippier failed to converted when he picked himself for a penalty awarded to the Lilywhites.

After the break, Mauricio Pochettino's men posed a stronger challenge to get back into the game but Palace held on to seal a place in the next round.

Schlupp's compatriot and club-mate Jordan Ayew joined the action in the 88th minute.
