Crystal Palace Under-18s saw off a dogged Nottingham Forest side this afternoon to record a 2-1 win at the Academy’s ground in Beckenham.
The win meant that Paddy McCarthy's Eagles have now gone five consecutive games unbeaten, leading them towards a strong finish with only two league matches left to play.
On a day which saw all the elements hit south London, the Eagles dominated much of the game and without creating many clear-cut chances, they ran out deserved winners.
McCarthy’s team were on the front foot immediately, and their dominance resulted in a lead in the 22nd minute.
