An Albion under-21 side featuring 17-year-old Arsenal defender Tom Dallison surrendered a two-goal lead as they had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park tonight.

Shamir Goodwin gave the Seagulls the lead after 26 minutes, tapping in a rebound when George Barker’s shot came back off the bar.

Barker was the provider again the the 36th minute, breaking down the left to cross for Emil Asmundsson to convert.

Palace rallied in the second half as Nabil Guerdioura scored twice in eight minutes and the hosts almost grabbed a winner in injury time when Kyle De Silva hit an upright.

Albion: Smith, Rea, Dallison (Collar 57), El-Abd, Chicksen, Goodwin (Deen 63), Richards, Ince, Barker, Asmundsson, Dickenson. Subs not used: Walton, Barclay, Harris.
