Marmoush almost gave the current answer, but Dean Henderson detected Egypt International after Rico Lewis and de Bruyne orchestrated a fast city.
The professional presented by Marmoush was punished as the Palace was put in the command position, Richards stood up that he nodded home to Adam Wharton after Eerson failed to deal with a dangerous ball.

McATEE then gave a city breathing room, Epson requested its part in Palace’s second with an extraordinary long ball to find England under the age of 21, which hit the ball outside Henderson and then inserted into an empty net.
Marmoush almost put a game outside the Palace when he ran into a perfectly placed right -wing cross de Bruyne, but this time Henderson was equal to his effort.
