Reid opened the scoring with a brilliant finish after following up his own blocked free-kick, before Benji Casey doubled Palace’s lead with a lifted one-on-one effort. Reid then made it 3–0 with an excellent penalty midway through the second half.
Reflecting on his brace, he said: “I think it’s the first time I’ve ever scored a brace, to be fair. The free-kick was rubbish – came back to me and I just hit it and hoped. I saw it fly in and thought, ‘Oh my God.’
“Then the penalty – I’ve been good with penalties in training. I’ve been practising for the Vertu Trophy, so I was ready for that one.”
With Nordsjaelland the final competitive fixture of 2025, Reid was pleased to end the year on a positive note.
“Yeah, last game. It’s not been exactly what we wanted overall, but you just get on with it. It’s good to go out with a win.
“You don’t want to sit over Christmas thinking, ‘Oh, we lost that game.’ So, it’s good we won.”
