Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock insisted guiding the Eagles into the Championship play-offs was the biggest achievement of his career after the 5-0 thumping of 10-man Burnley.

Palace were second from bottom when Warnock took over in October but the former Sheffield United boss has completed an impressive turnaround with a young squad.

The Eagles sealed a semi-final tie with Bristol City thanks to goals from Ben Watson, Victor Moses, Tom Soares, Scott Sinclair and Clinton Morrison.

"I can't think of a better achievement in my career. To go from second bottom in November into the play-offs, never mind winning them, is a great effort from all the lads," said Warnock.

"We have a 25% chance now and let's see what happens. It can come down to a lucky break or an individual piece of skill.

"It's been a great challenge. We haven't spent much money and brought the kids through as no one wanted to play for us so it's remarkable. But we will have a normal week this week and they are two league games as far as I am concerned. I've won six promotions in my career - but my lucky number is seven."
