A six minute second half hat-trick from Danny Butterfield earned Crystal Palace a 3-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup fourth round replay at Selhurst Park.

A dour first half was soon forgotten as Butterfield nodded home a rebound to put the home side in front and in an astonishing six minute salvo, he coolly slid home his second when put through on goal and completed the hat-trick three minutes later.

Palace boss Neil Warnock was naturally left buoyed by the result, commending his players on their attitude and fighting spirit.

"We deserved it. The attitude was brilliant. I think Wolves had their mind on something else to be fair," he told BBC Sport

"It's a great bunch we've got, we're fighting together. We can show people around the country, watching on the telly, we're far from dead."

The Londoners will now face a much-needed money-spinning tie against Aston Villa in the fifth round.
