Comments:

Goalscorers: - Paul Dawson 43 - Isaac Buckley-Ricketts 60 . Macclesfield - formed in October 2020 following the demise of Macclesfield Town - had now become the first non-league team to knock a Premier League team out of the FA Cup since Lincoln City of the National League at Burnley in the 5th round in February 2017. . Currently in 14th position in National League North, the Silkmen were ranked 117 places below Crystal Palace (13th in the Premier League) in the league pyramid. . Manager John Rooney is the younger brother of Wayne Rooney, a FA Cup winner with Manchester United in 2016.

Comments:

Crystal Palace had now become the first holders of the FA Cup to be eliminated by a non-league team since Wolverhampton Wanderers by Crystal Palace (then of the Southern League) on 21 January 1909. They won a 1st round replay 4-2 at the Crystal Palace ground, which was also the venue for Wolves' FA Cup Final triumph in April 1908. . This was the first time they had been knocked out of the FA Cup by a non-league team since December 1963, when a then League Division Three Palace lost a 2nd round tie (3-1) at Southern League Yeovil Town. . The Eagles had now become the first FA Cup holders to fail to progress beyond the 3rd round since Arsenal in 2017-18.
