In a hard-fought contest, marred by an early first-half injury to Jean-Philippe Mateta, the Eagles showed plenty of fighting spirit to come out on top and reach the last eight of the famous Cup competition.
An own-goal from Japhet Tanganga and a close range finish from Daniel Muñoz set Palace on their way, with Nketiah's wonderful late header – leaping high to loop the ball back across goal, and in off the far post – the eventual settler after a brief Millwall reply.
Nketiah's goal was his second in the space of five days, having also scored at Selhurst Park for the first time earlier in the week against Aston Villa, and arrived at a vital time for his side.
The No. 9 was a constant menace after his early introduction, having an earlier effort disallowed by VAR, having five shots and winning six aerial duels.
You awarded Nketiah 48.1% of your votes, with Muñoz also scoring highly on 16.4% and Ben Chilwell winning 9.6% on his first start for the club.
