James Dayton

Crystal Palace reserves condemned Ipswich Town to a 4-1 defeat at Portman Road.

Shefki Kuqi, Nathaniel Clyne, James Dayton and Neil Danns were all on target for the Eagles.

Palace fell behind in the 20th minute after Danny Haynes burst clear down the right and charged goalwards before cooly lobbing Darryl Flahavan.

The away side were back on level terms eight minutes before the break with Kuqi heading John Oster's cross past Shane Supple at the far post.

Palace went in front two minutes into the second half when left-back Clyne found himself in space on the edge of the area and drilled a low shot into the bottom right corner.

Four minutes later, Dayton increased the advantage to 3-1 by hitting a fine strike past Supple from 20 yards.

Then Danns rounded off a brilliant win with a fourth goal in injury time from close range.

Palace: Flahavan, Abnett (Dalhouse 63), Clyne, Bingham, Ertl, Edwards, Oster, Danns, Kuqi (Pinney 73), Dayton (Adelukan 80) and Djilali.

Not used: Thorp and Roberts.
