Palace U18s sealed an emphatic 5-0 victory over QPR on Saturday morning with five different goalscorers on target for the Eagles. Fionn Mooney put Paddy McCarthy’s side in front just before the break, while Tetteh-Quaye Addy, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, David Omilabu and John-Kymani Gordon all found the net in the second period.
It was a high-paced start to the game as the hosts aimed to grant Palace limited time on the ball with a notably high press. This enabled QPR to create the first chance of the match when Mason McClean picked out Hamzad Kargbo on the right flank, and the striker controlled it on the turn before bending an ambitious 30-yard effort just wide of the left-hand post.
