U21 Match Highlights: Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace

Street shines at Shrewsbury and Quick fires for Billericay

Palace’s loanees have been shining both at home and abroad. Dan Quick, who recently moved on loan to Billericay Town, scored within seven minutes of his second start for The Blues in a 5-1 victory over Kingstonian.

In Shropshire, Killian Phillips and Rob Street have continued to feature in Steve Cotterill’s Shrewsbury side. Phillips pulled off a stand-out performance on debut, while Street managed two assists in the same 4-0 victory over Burton Albion.

Street continued his fine form in a 2-1 win over Cambridge United, causing manager Cotterill to wax lyrical: "...what about the work rate from Rob Street, to get the corner in the first place that is what we need to remember, I thought he was excellent again today.

"He is such a team player, and I thought he was great, whilst everyone will remember Jordan's finish, and it was a great finish by the way, I will remember it for what Rob Street did in the build-up to it.

"The only disappointing thing today was that Rob Street did not get a goal for his performance, that was the only disappointing thing. I tell a lie and their goal."

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and John-Kymani Gordon both scored for Charlton Athletic and Carlisle United respectively, with the latter netting on his debut in the north west.

Across the border in Scotland, Malachi Boateng extended his streak of consecutive starts for Queen’s Park to 19, featuring most recently in their narrow 1-0 defeat to Raith Rovers in the Scottish Challenge Cup.

In Belgium, Luke Plange netted two for RWD Molenbeek in their final friendly game before the restart of the Challenger Pro League, while Jake O’Brien continued to be a stalwart in defence as the side continue to seek promotion to the Belgian Pro League.

A rising star

Palace Academy graduate David Ozoh made his Premier League debut for Crystal Palace on Saturday, 21st January 2023 at the age of 17 years, eight months and 15 days - setting the record as the club’s youngest ever Premier League player.

He progressed through the ranks of the Palace Academy from the age of eight years old, regularly playing above his age group, before earning his first outing at Selhurst Park as a substitute for Odsonne Edouard. You can find out more about the midfielder by clicking HERE.
