A Crystal Palace squad which handed minutes to a range of Development talents extended their run of pre-season fixtures this evening as they lost 6-2 to an inspired Barnet side who found momentum after a late first-half surge.
Palace sent the Bees' net bulging through the boots of David Boateng and Connor Wickham early in the game but were undone by the home side's Mo Bettamer and Jack Barham when the pair bagged late in the opening 45 to menace a surprise comeback. David Totunda then shot south London hearts into mouths by giving Barnet the lead at the opening of the second half before earning Barnet’s fourth to seemingly confirm victory for the Bees.
