Dougie Freedman

Crystal Palace kicked off their pre-season campaign with a 3-0 win at Conference club Stevenage Borough.

Dougie Freedman, trialist Charlie Sheringham and Lewis Grabban scored to give new boss Peter Taylor the perfect start to his reign.

Freedman to volled home from 15 yards from Tommy Black's pass to give the Eagles a 25th minute lead.

And five minutes from time, Sheringham returned the favour to set up Grabban to fire past the keeper.
