Palace found themselves 1-0 down at half time after Ian Rush's early goal, but things would kick into overdrive after the break.

An enthalling end-to-end second half ensued and, despite trailing 3-2 in the 87th minute, Andy Gray's brave header sent the game to extra time and no other than future Crystal Palace gaffer Alan Pardew applied the finishing touch to send the Eagles to Wembley.
