Paddy McCarthy

Crystal Palace won 4-1 away to Dulwich Hamlet in their last away pre-season friendly.

Ian Holloway fielded a mix of youth and experience at Champion Hill and it was the first match for Paddy McCarthy in more than a year.

The Eagles took the lead through Elliot Grandin, who calmly side-footed the ball past the keeper.

In the 39th minute Dulwich were on level terms, with Grandin at fault giving the ball away on the edge of the box and Erhan Oztumer slotted the ball past Lewis Price in goal.

Record signing Dwight Gale made a second half appearance alongside Yannick Bolasie, Quade Taylor and Connor Dymond.

Grandin got his second to make it 2-1 and Academy star Jerome Williams made it 3-1 shortly after.

Bolasie completed the rout on 70 minutes to make it a comfortable 4-1 victory.
