Related Topics: Arsenal, CPFC

Our under-18s were beaten 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace in the U18 Premier League Cup on Saturday.

WHAT HAPPENED

We had the first chance of the game from a corner that was whipped in by Ceadach O’Neill, the ball dropping to Cam’ron Ismail and his shot being blocked.

But Palace took the lead in the sixth minute, Jesse Derry sending a free-kick into the top corner from 25 yards out.

Louis Zecevic-John was played in but his shot from just outside the six yard box was blocked as we pursued an equaliser, but Palace come close to a second after a corner almost went directly in by Dean Bennamar, Khari Ranson tipping it over the bar.
