REPORT: Crystal Palace U23s 0 Burnley U23s 1

The Clarets kept their Premier League Cup campaign hopes alive, with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Thursday afternoon, at Champion Hill.

An 82nd minute winner from 18-year old Mitch George, means the Clarets can still qualify into the knockout stages, although Andy Farrell’s side would need to beat Group G leaders, Blackburn Rovers, later this month and need Middlesbrough to lose their last two fixtures.

It was a young Burnley side, that had eight youth team scholars starting the game, with another coming off the bench with just 20 minutes played, to replace the injured Chris Conn-Clarke.
