Ismaila Sarr scored an extra-time winner as Crystal Palace beat nine-man AEK Larnaca 2-1 to book a Conference League quarter-final meeting with Fiorentina. The victory secured a 2-1 aggregate win for the Eagles.
Sarr opened the scoring in the 13th minute after good work from Jorgen Strand Larsen and Adam Wharton. Enric Saborit equalised for the hosts with a header in the 63rd minute, but was sent off 10 minutes later for pulling down Sarr.
Palace regained the lead in the ninth minute of added time in the first extra period, when Sarr swept home from a corner. The visitors nearly added a third, but Sarr hit the crossbar twice and Strand Larsen struck the post.
The hosts finished with nine men after Petros Ioannou was dismissed for a dangerous challenge on Jean-Philippe Mateta. VAR also overturned a late penalty awarded to Larnaca for a Mateta handball, with replays showing the ball hit his thigh.
Walter Benitez started in goal for Palace, with captain Dean Henderson still ill. The Eagles will face Fiorentina in the last eight.
