The Young Eagles are unbeaten in 2026/27, opening their Premier League 2 campaign with a goalless draw at Arsenal before beating Aston Villa 2-0 at Bodymoor Heath.
Adler Nascimento and Benji Casey were on target against Villa, while Harry Lee’s heroics helped Palace secure their first league win of the season.
Premier League 2 is the competition for the development sides of Category One academies, with each team playing 20 regular-season games before the top 16 advance to single-elimination play-offs.
Palace then made it three games unbeaten with a statement 2-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in their Premier League International Cup opener, with Nascimento scoring from a free-kick before Seb Williams sealed the win with a superb volley.
Indeed, Darren Powell’s side also began their EFL Trophy campaign with a battling 2-1 victory at Swindon Town on Tuesday evening.
