Eberechi Eze inspired Crystal Palace to a 3-0 FA Cup quarter-final win at Fulham on Saturday with a goal and assist in a four-minute period in the first half.
Fresh from scoring his first England goal against Latvia on Monday, Eze broke the deadlock with a stunning strike from outside the box.
He then turned provider for Ismaila Sarr to rapidly double Palace鈥檚 lead and Eddie Nketiah added more gloss to the scoreline as a second-half substitute.
After a difficult start to the season, Palace are one of England鈥檚 form teams as Oliver Glasner鈥檚 men have also marched up the Premier League table to 12th in recent months.
The Eagles have won their last six away games, including another 2-0 win at Craven Cottage last month, and will believe they can go on to win the FA Cup for the first time.
Palace were able to welcome back French striker Jean-Philippe Mateta for the first time since he needed 25 stitches in an ear wound suffered in his side鈥檚 fifth round win over Millwall four weeks ago.
But it was Eze who was Palace鈥檚 match winner with two decisive moments in a matter of minutes.
The 26-year-old cut inside on his favoured right foot to curl in off the far post to open the scoring on 34 minutes.
Eze then jinked past Sander Berge and showed his ability on either foot with this time an inch-perfect left-footed cross for Sarr to head in at the near post.
聽However, their dreams of Wembley were extinguished 15 minutes from time.
Eddie Nketiah had only been on the field a few minutes as Mateta鈥檚 replacement and produced a composed finish under his former Arsenal team-mate Bernd Leno for a third goal in four games.
Brighton host Nottingham Forest in Saturday鈥檚 other quarter-final tie.
Forest thrashed the Seagulls 7-0 last month, but Brighton have won six and drawn one, 2-2 away to Manchester City, of their seven games since.
City are the favourites for the competition but face a tough trip to Bournemouth on Sunday.
After a disappointing season that has fallen well short of their usual standards, the FA Cup is City鈥檚 final shot at winning a trophy.
Aston Villa visit second-tier Preston hoping to remain on course for their first trophy since 1996 in Sunday鈥檚 early kick-off.
