U18s Report: Palace 2-4 Bolton Wanderers

Crystal Palace Under-18s fell to a frustrating loss at the hands of Bolton Wanderers under the lights of a frosty Selhurst Park tonight, the defeat sending them out of the FA Youth Cup.

Despite taking the lead twice in the match through Brandon Aveiro and David Boateng, the Eagles fell behind to the decisive goal of the game following a defensive mix-up, making the loss a more bitter pill to swallow.

The first chance of the night arose when Will Donkin conceded a free-kick on the edge of the Palace box within two minutes of play commencing.
