Crystal Palace Under-23s have secured promotion to the Premier League 2 Division 1 after victory in a penalty shoot-out against Sunderland in the play-off final.
The Eagles’ victory over The Black Cats means that they will now compete in the Premier League 2 Division 1 next season, the highest level of development football. Promotion to this tier is a remarkable feat as it was the first time the south Londoners have competed at Category 1 level.
Shaun Derry’s young Eagles have worked tirelessly throughout the season and their fantastic performances are a credit to the club.
