On Sunday night, Crystal Palace hosted Ewarton in the last 8 of the EFL Cup, and the two managers, Vera and Lambert, were joined by two of the biggest players of the past.

A change of identity in the midfield resulted in Vela-led Crystal Palace thrashing Lambert's Ewarton 4-0 to reach the last four of the EFL Cup for the second time since 2015-16.
The two sides are not that far apart, but Crystal Palace are much better in terms of recent results, as they drew last time out.

The team is unbeaten in 5 matches in all competitions. On the other hand, Ewarton is hovering on the edge of relegation protection, beating Newcastle 1-0 in the last match to gain 3 points, the team is concentrating on relegation protection, and the players are distracted by the cup matches, which eventually led to a big defeat.
Crystal Palace took a 1-0 lead in the opening 25 minutes of the game with a header from Mark Gushee, who was assisted by the center forward, Sam Madida, who added a second goal four minutes before halftime to give Crystal Palace a two-goal lead heading back to the locker room.
In the second half, it was the turn of Werfeldt Sachs to take advantage of a teammate's shot that bounced off the post in the 79th minute to make it 3-0 in the face of an empty net, which was already routed by Ewarton, and then by Werfeldt Sachs in the 87th minute to make it a 4-0 win in the quarterfinals.
Crystal Palace made it to the final of the 2015-16 season, where they fought in the final.

They lost 1-2 in extra time, and with Vela at the helm this season, Crystal Palace will be in the middle of the league and will be in the hunt for the EFL Cup.
