U18s Report: Palace hold Blades to take a point

Crystal Palace Under-18s held Sheffield United to a point on Saturday afternoon after the Blades' Jake Kelly scored an unfortunate own goal.

The game was an even affair with both sides enjoying good chances, though Palace were forced to weather the home side's storms on various occasions.

United opened the scoring through Sammy Ompreon, who reacted fastest to a smart save from Jacob Russell to head home the rebound. Threatening Palace with another header, Sam Ackroyd then saw an effort cleared off the line however it was the Eagles who would score next as Kelly attempted to intercept a loose ball and ended up sending his own net bulging.
