U18s Report: Eagles near U18 Premier League South title after seven-star triumph

Crystal Palace Under-18s smashed seven past West Bromwich Albion on a rainy Saturday morning at Copers Cope, ensuring they've done all they can to secure the Premier League South title with the result now dependant on second-placed Fulham's next game.

Summary:

  • Top goalscorer David Omilabu leads the line alongside Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Victor Akinwale
  • West Brom take the lead 15 minutes in, forcing an own goal from a corner
  • The Eagles respond five minutes later through Rak-Sakyi
  • Akinwale doubles the lead for Palace just a minute after Rak-Sakyi scores
  • Half-time: Crystal Palace 2-1 West Bromwich Albion
  • Palace start the second-half brightly as Maliq Cadogan scores
  • Omilabu scores his 20th goal of the season as he adds Palace’s fourth and fifth
  • Substitutes John-Kymani Gordon and Ademola Ola-Adebomi net the sixth and seventh in injury time
