Report & Highlights: Kamada fires Palace into Carabao Cup quarter ...

Taking aim at Gauci’s goal, he let off a pinpoint strike on his right foot, finding the bottom left corner for his second goal in this tournament and the Eagles’ second on the night. He wheeled away in celebration and slid joyfully in front of the travelling Palace faithful.

After taking the lead again, the Eagles enjoyed a strong spell of possession and continued to keep the hosts at bay. The best effort from the side in claret and blue came from Philogene - a long range effort that was no issue for Matt Turner.

Palace saw out the remainder of the game and were rarely troubled beyond the long-range Philogene effort. Glasner and his side march on into the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup for the first time in 13 years.
