First day defeat for Palace

August 6 2011

Crystal Palace threw away a lead to lose their opening match of the season 2-1 at Peterborough.

Palace manager handed debuts to loan signings Andrew Davies, Ryan McGivern and Peter Ramage - three of the team's back four. While permanent buys Jonathan Parr and Glenn Murray also made their Palace bows.

Sean Scannell put Palace ahead in the 33rd minute when he dinked the ball over advancing goalkeeper Paul Jones.

Grant McCann levelled matters for Posh on 58 minutes when Lee Tomlin's free-kick found him on the edge of the area and he let fly with a superb strike past Julian Speroni.

And 17 minutes from time, the home side got the winner as Mark Little scampered down the right and his cross to David Ball was headed in at the far post.
