Crawley Town defeated a young West Ham United team this afternoon at the Rush Green Training Ground in East London.
Dom Telford opened the scoring for the Red Devils with a tidy finish into the top corner after a tricky solo run from James Balagizi.
West Ham were level just minutes later as Keenan Appiah-Forson capitalised on a defensive mishap, which gave the young forward plenty of time to pick his place against an on-rushing Ellery Balcombe.
Crawley made a couple of changes at the interval, with Mazeed and Brandon Mason replacing Travis Johnson and Jayden Davis. Corey Addai, Ben Wells and Harry Ransom replaced Ellery Balcombe, James Balagizi and Ludwig Francillette later in the match.
Jack Powell scored the winning goal for Crawley after a lovely piece of link-up play with Telford in the box.
The Reds return to action on Boxing Day as they welcome Sutton United to the Broadfield Stadium.
