U18s Report: Eagles edge past Nottingham Forest

Crystal Palace Under-18s saw off a dogged Nottingham Forest side this afternoon to record a 2-1 win at the Academy’s ground in Beckenham.

The win meant that Paddy McCarthy's Eagles have now gone five consecutive games unbeaten, leading them towards a strong finish with only two league matches left to play.

On a day which saw all the elements hit south London, the Eagles dominated much of the game and without creating many clear-cut chances, they ran out deserved winners.

McCarthy’s team were on the front foot immediately, and their dominance resulted in a lead in the 22nd minute.
