Crystal Palace star Michael Olise hit by bottle before taunting Millwall fans during fiery FA Cup clash
MICHAEL OLISE was hit by a bottle during Crystal Palace's FA Cup clash against south London rivals Millwall.
The 20-year-old turned on the style in the second half to swing the tie in Palace's favour.
Palace found themselves a goal behind early on in the first half after a Jack Butland howler allowed Benik Afobe to score into an empty net.
But an inspirational half-time team talk by boss Patrick Vieira fired the team up.
Olise drew Palace level straight from kick-off, cutting inside off the right flank and sending a shot cannoning in off the inside of the far post.
The Frenchman then hit the same post minutes later.
Olise then picked out Jean-Philippe Mateta with a pinpoint cross to put Palace ahead for the first time on Saturday.
Minutes after setting up Palace's second, Olise went over to take a corner, but was confronted by Millwall fans.

A bottle was hurled at the young starlet, who responded by taunting the home crowd.
One Palace fan responded to the incident on Twitter, saying: "Tears in my eyes, what a guy."
Another said: "And the commentators said he should be more professional."
There was also a stoppage in play after a flare was thrown onto the pitch.
The 2-1 derby win comes just in time for Palace's Premier League clash against rivals Brighton.
Palace haven't been beaten by Brighton since March 2019.
