Manager Neil Warnock praised his Crystal Palace players after they dumped Premier League side Wolves out of the FA Cup.

Danny Butterfield scored the club's fastest ever hat-trick in a seven-minute spell in the second half as the Eagles won 3-1 and booked a money-spinning fifth round tie with Aston Villa at Selhurst Park on Boxing Day.

Butterfield, playing on the right wing, had not scored since Boxing Day 2008 but stunned Palace fans with his treble, though Warnock claims he knew the 30-year-old would score at least once.

"You won't believe this but I told Danny he would score before the game," he said.

"I didn't think he would score three though but the way we played he enjoyed it, they all enjoy it, the way we interchange you can see they are enjoying it.

"I thought there were eleven man of the matches out there.

"It was a great night for everyone connected with the club.

"We may only have a small number of lads but we have a great team spirit and we are not a bad team and played some good stuff."
