After taking an early lead against a very strong Ipswich Town, Crystal Palace Under-23s narrowly fell to a fightback from their hosts yesterday afternoon.
Jason Lokilo opened the scoring against a Tractor Boy side which included 10 players to have featured for the League One club's first-team. One man helping to lead the Blues' frontline was former Eagle Freddie Sears, 'scorer' of an infamous 'ghost goal' against Bristol City, who was continuing his return to fitness after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Lokilo netted having collected the ball on the edge of the box from Gio McGregor.
