Nathaniel Pinney

Crystal Palace reserves kept their place at the top of the league table with a 2-0 win at Crawley.

Two goals from Nathaniel Pinney helped the Eagles extend their lead at the Totesport.com Combination League summit to six points.

Palace opened the scoring in the 22nd minute when trialist Mitchell Nelson sent over a throw-in that was flicked on by Kieron Cadogan for Pinney to convert at the far post.

The lead was doubled in the 69th minute after an excellent run and cross from Kieran Djilali found Pinney and he slotted home.

Palace reserves are next in action away to their Brighton counterparts on Tuesday April 27, 7pm.
