Richard Shaw's Under-23 side claimed victory today against local rivals Millwall in a well-earned 2-0 win.
Goals from Kian Flanagan and Joseph Hungbo secured three points for the Eagles as the game drew to a close, taking them above the Lions on goal difference.
Initially, however, the game was steady and measured and an uneventful first-half saw two evenly matched sides closely battling for dominance but never threatening one another too seriously.
Palace's first and best chance of the opening half came when TQ Addy found himself on the end of a well driven cross but volleyed the ball hard at visiting 'keeper Martin.
