U21 Development League 2
Swansea City 3-3 Palace
CRYSTAL Palace's U21 side played a six-goal thriller away to Swansea City on Monday night and had to thank Connor Dymond for rescuing a point with a last-gasp equaliser.
Fisayo Adarabioyo had put Gary Issott's side ahead before a brace from Kenji Gorre helped the Swans to half-time in front. Captain for the night Kyle de Silva then slotted in a penalty but Josh Sheehan had looked to hand the home side a vital win, before Dymond popped up to snatch a point.
Palace took the lead early on against a Swansea side who had been on a 12-game unbeaten run, when Fisayo Adarabioyo slotted past Swans goalkeeper David Cornell after a pass from Sonny Black.
Ten minutes before the break, the hosts equalised when Kenji Gorre fired past David Gregory after getting beyond his marker.
And it didn't like for Gorre to grab his second and put Swansea ahead when his long range effort managed to beat Gregory.
As the hour-mark approached, Palace equalised from the penalty spot through Kyle de Silva, who had been fouled inside the box by Cornell.
At 2-2, there were plenty of chances at either end but Swansea took the lead again when Henry Jones went down the right and crossed for Josh Sheehan to finish off the post.
But Dymond had the final say in the outcome, as he headed past Cornell from a delivery to make sure of point.
Palace: Gregory, N'Diane, Magri, Croll, Dymond, Boateng, Black, Allassani, Adarabioyo (Anderson 62), de Silva, Berkeley-Agyepong. Subs not used: Comins, Bissaka, Phillips, Ferrier.
