1-1 right now according to twitter.
Ioannou scoring for us after 12 minutes - Allesani scoring for Palace after 32 minutes following a mistake from McNair ... apparently 
Poor game so far with a lot of defensive errors from both teams. Our goal was a header from a couple of yards after a flick on from a corner. Palace goal was a mistake from McNair who lost the ball on the edge of the box and then was slow in closing down allesani who's shot took a nick off McNair to beat Gollini. Wilson and Byrne have both missed good chances with Wilson looking very rusty so far. Half time 1-1
Should be 2-1 United, Byrne misses a good chance
Wilson misses a penalty. 55mins gone.
Wilson and Byrne apparently both having missed numerous chances
2-1 United, decent free-kick by Perreira, saved by their keeper who then spilled it across the goal for Pearson to tap in.
Such a weird performance from Palace. Some decent players but they look like they only met each other today!
Palacle miss a penalty 79mins! great save
Palacle miss a penalty 79mins! great save
Pen save by Gollini this time, another good save after he gave it away himself.
2-1 Full time.
Get in! Come on!
Great win that. If we hear reading next weekend are we pretty much assured of a place in the semi?
Palace look a good side for a team who had been hammered a few times.

U18s: Palace 1 United 2
Manchester United's Under-18s collected a vital victory at Crystal Palace with Nicholas Ioannou and Ben Pearson on the scoresheet.
Both sides saw penalties saved as Paul McGuinness' youngsters shaded an entertaining encounter and, after the surprise 3-0 midweek defeat to Everton, it was important that the visitors got back on track against the bottom team.
The Reds made the perfect start when a well-worked corner allowed Ioannou to convert a close-range header with only seven minutes gone. Palace were fortunate not to fall further behind when Tom King saved a Sam Byrne shot and the rebound deflected off Kiran Khindra John and clipped the woodwork.
Byrne then had a goal ruled out for offside and the hosts emerged as an attacking force themselves. Reise Allassani fired wide from a Javen Palmer pass but hit the target with his next opportunity to level the scores. Allassani robbed Paddy McNair and slotted past Pierluigi Gollini with the aid of a slight deflection.
Palmer had a couple of attempts either side of a golden opportunity that was spurned by James Wilson but United finished the half on top. King made a good stop to deny Wilson from a tight angle and the speedy striker crossed well only for Byrne to get his finish all wrong from an unmarked position.
The chances kept coming thick and fast after the restart with Byrne blazing over a volley when a goal seemed certain and forcing a smart stop out of King. There was drama in the 55th minute when a penalty was harshly awarded against Luke Croll when the ball bounced against his arm. Wilson's spot kick was superbly saved by King to keep the score at 1-1.
The Eagles then went close with Jon Williams denied by Gollini and Ioannou making a vital block on the line to keep out Derek Tieku's effort. Mats Daehli and Andreas Pereira went close before United edged ahead again. Pereira's free-kick was pushed out by King and Pearson pounced from close range to ram in the rebound.
However, the joy was short-lived as, six minutes later, Gollini was adjudged to have pulled down Jake Gray and another spot-kick was awarded. For a second time, the goalkeeper came out on top as Gollini atoned by making a brilliant save to deny Allassani from 12 yards.
Wilson almost wrapped up the success late on when his shot cannoned off the bar while Croll's free-kick was wide at the other end as this was a much-needed win in terms of the battle for a semi-final place.
United: Gollini; Love, McNair, Ioannou, Evans; Pereira, Grimshaw, Pearson, Daehli; Byrne, Wilson. Subs not used: Rudge, Sutherland, Barmby, Willock, Fletcher.

Our young keepers sure know how to save a penalty!
Anyone know who had the flick assist to Ioannou for the first goal?
Evans
Thank you, sir!
