QPR Under-21s record 5-2 win against Crystal Palace

Ben Gladwin and Yun Suk-Young return from injury

Goals from Crichlow, Wise, Gladwin, Croll (OG) and Furlong seal win

BEN Gladwin and Yun Suk-Young made their return from injuries for QPR’s Under-21 side on Monday afternoon.





The R’s duo played the full 90 minutes as Paul Hall’s Elite Development Squad recorded a 5-2 win against Crystal Palace.





Left-back Suk Young has been missing since the start of pre-season with a knee injury whilst Gladwin has also been unavailable for his sides last four matches.





Rangers went 1-0 up at a wet Harlington after 34 minutes when Aaron Mitchell’s excellent through ball allowed Under-18s winger Gianni Crichlow to slot past Palace keeper Kieton Perntrevov.





Two minutes later the R’s doubled their advantage when centre-back Harly Wise tapped in from close range having got on the end of Brandon Comley’s header from a corner.





QPR were pegged back after the half-time break when Crystal Palace forward Patrick Bamford made it 2-1 from an acute angle in the 52nd minute but it took just 60 seconds for Paul Hall’s side to restore their two goal advantage.









HALF-TIME: Rangers lead 2-0 at the break





Gladwin, playing for the first time since returning from injury, got on the end of Mitchell’s cross to steer it into the back of the Palace net.





Frankie Sutherland was handed an opportunity to make it 4-1 from the penalty spot after the visitors handled in the area but the midfielder saw his spot kick saved by Perntrevov in the 56th minute.





Not that is mattered as the R’s were handed their fourth goal when visiting defender Luke Croll’s back pass was missed by the custodian Perntrevov and it rolled gently into the goal.





Hall made a triple substitution shortly after but that didn’t prevent his team hitting their fifth of the match when Darnell Furlong met Sutherland’s free-kick to head home.





The visitors did pull back a consolation goal through Keshi Anderson six minutes from time but it was not enough as QPR secured victory.





The Under-21s are back in action on Friday when they host Nottingham Forest at Loftus Road – 7pm kick-off.





QPR U21s: Lumley, Furlong, Suk-Young, Wise (Jones 64), Kpekawa, Comley, Shodipo, Sutherland, Crichlow (Corkery 64), Mitchell (Manning 64), Gladwin.





Subs not used: Hudnott





QPR goals: Crichlow 34, Wise 38, Gladwin 53, Croll (OG) 64, Furlong 68
