Crystal Palace claimed a thrilling 5-4 pre-season victory at home to Millwall.
Played at Palace's Beckenham Academy, Eberechi Eze got the scoring underway after two minutes.
Millwall levelled matters shortly after with a volleyed strike from forward Benik Afobe.
Jordan Ayew put the Eagles back in front after Nathaniel Clyne's shot was parried by Bartosz Bialkowski.
Afobe equalised again for the visitors with a header that beat Palace keeper VICENTE GUAITA.
Palace extended their lead with goals from Jake O’Brien and Christian Benteke to make it 4-2.
However, the Lions pegged it back to four goals each through Charlie Cresswell and Zian Flemming.
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi grabbed the winning goal for Palace after good work from Odsonne Edouard to seal a South London derby triumph.
