      Palace found themselves a goal behind early on in the first half after a Jack Butland howler allowed Benik Afobe to score into an empty net.
      But an inspirational half-time team talk by boss Patrick Vieira fired the team up.
      Olise drew Palace level straight from kick-off, cutting inside off the right flank and sending a shot cannoning in off the inside of the far post.
      The Frenchman then hit the same post minutes later.
      Olise then picked out Jean-Philippe Mateta with a pinpoint cross to put Palace ahead for the first time on Saturday.
      Minutes after setting up Palace’s second, Olise went over to take a corner, but was confronted by Millwall fans.

      It also picked up a small section of the The Den faithful aiming homophobic abuse at Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher.
      And ITV were quick to apologise for the foul language and abusive chanting.
      Commentator Tyldesley first said: “We’d like to apologise if our effects microphone picked up some obscene language there a moment or two ago.”
      He later said: “Again, we must apologise for any foul language that has been picked up.”
      A third apology was issued in the second half.
      The highly-rated Gallagher failed to make an impact in the first half and quickly became a target for Lions fans.
      Homophobic chanting has marred several top-flight matches this season.

      Spurs condemned the chants in a stern statement, saying: “The club is extremely disappointed by homophobic chanting from sections of our support at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.
      “We work closely with our LGBTQ+ fan group Proud Lilywhites to create a welcoming and inclusive environment at our Club and are proud to display the Progress Flag in our stadium on matchday.
      “No one should suffer discrimination because of their sexual orientation and/or their gender identity, and we urge supporters not to use this chant.

      But he found himself needing medical treatment in the 11th minute after being caught with a stray elbow.
      An accidental left elbow from George Saville caught Gallagher flush on the right side of his face.

      Gallagher flattered to deceive in the first half, so much so he was targeted by the Den crowd.
      And small sections of the stadium aimed homophobic abuse at the Chelsea loanee.
      ITV issued two apologies for the foul language and abusive chanting.
      Tyldesley first said: “We’d like to apologise if our effects microphone picked up some obscene language there a moment or two ago.”

      Later in the first half, he said: “Again, we must apologise for any foul language that has been picked up.”
      Championship outfit Millwall took the lead in the 18th minute through former Arsenal man Benik Afobe.
      Afobe bagged his sixth goal of the season after capitalising on an unforced error from Eagles stopper Jack Butland and firing home from close range. More

      Watch Palace keeper Butland concede disastrous goal against Millwall after failing to play out from back in FA Cup clash

      by

      CRYSTAL PALACE goalkeeper Jack Butland conceded a disastrous opening goal in their FA Cup derby clash against Millwall. The once highly rated 28-year-old tried to play his way out from the back but was swiftly closed down by two Millwall players.

      Instead of thumping the ball clear, Butland tried to play a slick pass through the two opposition players, but the ball fell to Benik Afobe and the striker made no mistake with the finish.
      The game happens to be the former England international’s fourth appearance for the Eagles this season.
      And his howler reaffirms his place behind Spaniard Vicente Guaita in the pecking order.
      Football icon Roy Keane – who is working on ITV’s coverage of the game – fumed: “They’re going to press well its the first 20 minutes, the goalkeeper, you have to just..
      “I’ve never understood it, clear your lines and argue after.
      “Decision making defines players and their careers, why he doesn’t put his foot through it is beyond me.

      There’s a time and a place for that but not everyone is as good at that as Man City or Barcelona.
      “Get it out, clear your lines.”
      Palace icon Ian Wright says Butland was trying to play the way his manager wants him to, but let his focus slip at the vital moment.
      Wright added: “Patrick wants to play out from the back and you cant change that because he’s got his second keeper in.
      “Its up to the keeper to make the right decision with the pressure he’s under.”
      Luckily for Butland, his outfield team-mates ramped up the pressure in the second half.
      Michael Olise, in particular, put the sword to Millwall.
      The 20-year-old scored a fantastic equaliser before setting up Jean-Philippe Mateta’s winner. More

      And all sides will be looking to book their place in the fourth round, with ties set to be played between Friday, February 4 and Sunday, February 6.
      When is FA Cup fourth round draw?

      This year’s FA Cup fourth round draw will take place on Sunday, January 9.
      It will be made after West Ham face Leeds at the London Stadium.
      Kick-off in that game is at 2pm, so expect the draw around 4.30pm.
      David James and Leah Williamson will be on hand to draw the ties.

      This season there are NO replays at this stage of the competition, so there will be 35 teams in the hat for the draw.
      After the draw is made, there will be two more ties to complete – Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal on Sunday evening and Man Utd vs Aston Villa on Monday.

      Team news
      Chelsea are without Edouard Mendy for the clash as he is away on AFCON duty with Senegal so Thomas Tuchel will have to decide between Kepa Arrizabalaga or third choice Marcus Bettenilli.
      Kai Havertz broke his finger in the win over Tottenham in midweek and will play no part in the clash.
      Ben Chilwell, Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah are also out of contention.
      N’Golo Kante and Thiago Silva both have coronavirus.
      Blues youngsters like Lewis Hall and Harvey Vale are likely to start from the off.
      Chesterfield’s top scorer Kabongo Tshimanga will spearhead the attack for the away side.
