Crystal Palace entered the FA Cup quarterfinal after a 3-1 win over local Milwall rivals, but the victory was stained after Jean-Philippe was lying down.
The incident came within six minutes. Mattha challenged for a high ball just outside the area when Milwall Liam Roberts goalkeeper came out of his box, grabbing the head of the palace attacker with his high shoe.
After a search of the pitch monitor, Judge Michael Oliver sent Roberts, with Matta taking nearly 10 minutes of medical care in the field before being removed. He was taken directly to the hospital.
Crystal Palace Steve chairman pre -described it as ‘the most reckless challenge in a football field I have ever seen’ when talking to the BBC in half the time.
The eagles began to capture the chances with the extra player and made progress in the 33rd minute – though not one of them. Millwall defender is tanganga nodry at home from Will Hughes’s cross, beating Lukas Substitute goalkeeper Jensen.
Seven minutes later, Crystal Palace doubled their lead and the tanganga had another hand. Daniel Munoz returned home from inside the six -courtyard box, but the goal was initially excluded for offside.

This was overthrown by Oliver, and Var confirmed that the goal would stay after the ball came out of the tanganga before Munoz returned home – meaning he was not offside.
But with the last blow of the first half, Milwall gave itself a salvation. Matt Turner initially pushed a cross, but she landed in Wes Harding at the entrance, which fired at home.
And the lions started the second half well and will think they should have equalized. But after Crystal Palace settled, it was clear that they would see the game outside, and increased the safety of a third goal in the 81st minute.

It was a well -deserved goal for Eddie Nketiah, who replaced the measures. Eberechi Eze’s free kick was broken by Chris Richards, before the former Arsenal striker pulled a head -to -head to secure Crystal Palace’s place in Sunday’s draw.
Parish: I’ve never seen a challenge like it
Crystal Palace Steve Chairman Parish at BBC Sport at half the time in Jean-Philippe Matthea’s injury:
“He has a bad gills behind his ear and a head injury. He is in the hospital and we hope for the best.
“There are a lot of emotions in football, but we have to talk about that challenge. I’ve never seen a challenge like it … This is the most reckless challenge in a football field I’ve ever seen.

“He must have a long and difficult look at himself because he is endangering his professional with such a challenge.
“And why the judge has to go to the screen, I have no idea … If you are trampling it on your head with full strength, who knows what kind of damage can be done.”
Glasner: is a terrible foul
Crystal Palace Oliver Glasner chief at BBC Sport in Jean-Philippe Matthew:
“He is aware and he is in the hospital. His ear seems terrible. It’s a very serious injury and we hope the best for him.
“We can’t be really happy. Of course it’s an excellent, quarter -final victory, but when you lose a player with a foul like this, you have two different feelings in your stomach.
“I didn’t want to see it, but I have to talk about it. It’S’S’S TRUE (Challenge). I’m sure the goalkeeper didn’t want to hurt JP in this situation because no player wants it.
“But if you go the ball like this with the intensity in the head, you just can’t do it because it’s so dangerous. I don’t want to blame it, but it’s a terrible foul.”
In the response of his players and the game: “The players did well until the 55th minute in the first half. We checked the game and we were on the right track. Then we unnecessarily donate the ball half of the time and then it’s 2-1 and then they got their trust.
“The second half was not really the best match, but Eddie placed it with an amazing head. Going to the FA Cup quarterfinal is a great achievement and now the fingers cross, we are hoping the best for JP.”
Neil disagrees with the parish: not the worst challenge I’ve ever seen
Millwall Liam Roberts goalkeeper took a red card for a high challenge in Jean-Philippe Matthews of Crystal Palace Palace
Millwall Alex Neil boss for BBC Sport when asked about the half -time comments of Steve about the challenge of Liam Roberts:
“I don’t think there is any purpose. Why would there be?
“I certainly won’t label him as the worst challenge I have seen. We do not want the boy to hurt so naturally, we want the meters to be well and hopefully he will return to the field soon.
“For me, it’s wrong. He’s sent out. He’s disappointed. We wish the meters well and it’s nothing more than that to me.
“At the time it happened, I didn’t know if he would catch the boy or grabbed the ball because the ball seemed to go to a strange angle.
“Unfortunately, (screens) on the Dugout side were not working, so we couldn’t really see the incident.
“I haven’t seen him since then, but he has wronged him and was sent, which at that stage of the game makes the game double difficult for us. It was disappointing. He made a call and did not get it well.”
On Accepted Purpose: “The nature of the goals disappointed me more. One is its own goal, another is when we throw the ball from our player and it comes down to the boy in the box and he scores. Then we lose two heads in a row. When you sit in 10 men, you want to make them work for their goals.
“We gave ourselves a little longevity by taking the goal half of the time. The plan then was to stay in the game as long as we could and hope to get another goal. I was about to go two up and they score just as we were ready to make a under the right day for us really.”
