Crystal Palace Under-18s fell out of the FA Youth Cup this evening against a rampant Wolverhampton Wanderers side, who the Eagles kept quiet for large swathes despite the home side's intense offensive pressure.
Summary
- Palace field a strong attacking lineup including Brandon Pierrick
- Wolves push the Eagles back with dominant offensive passages
- The hosts take the lead shortly before half-time through Jed Abbey
- Half-time: Wolves 1-0 Palace
- Palace look more comfortable for the second-half
- The Eagles equalise through substitute John-Kymani Gordon
- The hosts regain the lead as Theo Corbeanu bends past Jacob Russell
- Full-time: Wolves 2-1 Palace
At times, the game showed flashes of reflecting last month's Third Round with Reading: Palace the inferior team for much of the first-half before settling down and launching a heroic fightback.
