Cork City’s latest export, Franco Umeh, smashed home a brace in Crystal Palace’s 3-1 victory over Arsenal’s Under-18s on Tuesday.

Palace recently completed the capture of the Leesider by activating the €75,000 release clause in his City contract just after he’d turned 18 and was eligible to move across the Irish sea.
