Gareth Williams
Palace reserves played AFC Bournemouth away on Wednesday afternoon and won the game 4-0.
The reserve side included new signing Dele Adebola, who caused Bournemouth's young defence a host of problems.
Adebola scored the first after Gareth Williams broke the offside trap and pulled the ball back from the goal line for him to side step in at the near post.
Williams almost scored himself before half time, but was denied twice by Bournemouth's trialist goalkeeper Arthur. He blocked the first effort and smothered the ball at feet for the second.
Ben Watson came close in the second half when he turned his effort wide of the post. Williams got his reward for a fine performance after heading in from a right wing cross to make it 2-0 Palace.
After Williams grabbed a second, Palace starlet Wayne Routledge scored a great solo effort with just eight minutes to go. He cut inside having just entered the penalty area and placed his shot inside the near post.
Palace's next reserve match is against Brighton on Wednesday, August 21 at Carshalton's War Memorial Ground.
Palace: Kolinko, Hunt (Togwell 31), Frampton, Watson, Antwi, Berthalter, Routledge, Surey (Borrowdale 62), Adebola (Nadil 68), Williams, Rubins.
Bournemouth: Arthur, Rodriques, Narada, Browning (Burt h/t), J Purches, Hutchings (Woolfenden 65), Saadi, Connell, Bloomfield, Foyewa, Thomas.
