Highlights from Crystal Palace's 3-2 pre-season victory against AFC Wimbledon at the Cherry Red Records Stadium

Crystal Palace defender Pape Souare had a night to forget as he scored a shocking own-goal during a pre-season friendly.

The Eagles made the short trip to newly promoted AFC Wimbledon as both sides prepare for the new season and Alan Pardew's men ended up as 3-2 winners - but only after Souare nodded the ball past his goalkeeper to set up a nervy ending.

A long ball was played down the field from a Dons defender, finding the left-back as he attempted to clear the ball away from the home attack.

However, his header bounced the wrong way, heading towards the opposition goal and rolling into the open net as he scrambled to get back - but to no avail. 

Luke Taylor had equalised for the Sky Bet League One side after Connor Wickham edged Palace ahead, with Yannick Bolasie and Freddie Ladapo adding to Souare's own-goal in the second half.
