U23s Report: Palace fall to early Hull goals

Crystal Palace Under-23s fell to defeat after Hull City netted two early goals on Sunday night through Jon Toral and Luca Navarro.

The narrow defeat was Palace's third from four matches, though Richard Shaw's side still sit third in the Professional Development League South.

Hull began the game showing their intentions going forward when Navarro fired a clear attempt over. The Eagles, however, created chances of their own and Levi Lumeka was left frustrated after drilled a shot against the foot of the upright from the edge of the Tigers' post.

Seizing the opportunity to take the lead having been fortunate not to have conceded, Billy Chadwick worked his way down the right wing minutes later and cut the ball back to Toral, who struck home with confidence.
