Crystal Palace 2-2 Charlton: Eagles' academy stars shine in Patrick Vieira's first match at Selhurst Park as Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Scott Banks find the net

Crystal Palace were denied a victory in Patrick Vieira's first game at Selhurts Park as League One side Charlton twice came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw.

Vieira was announced as the Eagles' new boss earlier this month after Roy Hodgson retired at the end of last season and the Frenchman was able to greet supporters for the first time on Tuesday.

Palace fielded a mixture of regular first-team stars and academy graduates and it was the youngsters who stole the show in south east London.
