Crystal Palace Under-23s earned a comprehensive 5-1 victory over Bolton Wanderers on Monday night, putting in a confident display to dispatch the home side despite missing a first-half penalty.
The Eagles began the game as they intended to carry on, playing on the front foot from kick-off. Their efforts were duly rewarded in the 7th minute as Kian Flanagan jinked majestically along the left-wing before playing the ball to Rob Street, who struck home adeptly.
Palace continued to camp in the Wanderers’ half and earned their shot at a second goal as Street hit the deck, felled by goalkeeper Matthew Alexander following a mis-hit home side clearance.
