Match report from Crystal Palace v Man Utd in U18 Premier League Cup

SECOND HALF

Thwaites’s free-kick had to be beaten away by goalkeeper Lucca Benetton as we began the second period the brighter.

Goalscorer Ajayi then seemed to pick up a knock and was replaced by livewire Sam Lusale.

Junior Brown drew another stop from the Eagles shot-stopper after being fed by Gabriel, as he mark his final involvement of the game.

Amir Ibragimov and James Overy then replaced the duo, as we looked to find a crucial second.

But there was to be late heartbreak in the dying embers, as Mills dragged down Casey inside the box, conceding a penalty and earning himself a red in the process.

Casey stepped up and slammed home the equaliser, as we went into extra time.
