Doncaster Rovers went down fighting as they lost 2-0 to Crystal Palace in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Here’s how we rated the individual performances…

MARKO MAROSI 6

Had a quieter afternoon than he was probably expecting. No chance with either goal.

MATTY BLAIR 7

Came into the side for Lewis and did an admirable job at right back up against Ayew and then Schlupp. His delivery occasionally let him down.

PAUL DOWNING 6

Looked slightly nervous and tentative in the first half up against Batshuayi but was more composed after the interval.

TOM ANDERSON 8

Another excellent performance by the in-form centre back. Relished the challenge and never looked in the slightest bit fazed.

DANNY ANDREW 7

Continued his impressive recent form with another steady display at left back. Some of his set piece deliveries could have been better.

ALI CRAWFORD 7

Kept things ticking and pressed hard. Found a bit more space in the second half before making way for Rowe.

BEN WHITEMAN 8

Impressive yet again as he made his presence felt in midfield . His passing was not as probing as usual, down to the quality of the opposition, but he can take plenty of confidence from this display.
