Warnock delighted with Cadogan

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock was overjoyed after watching Kieron Cadogan make an instant impact in the side.

Cadogan, 18, is the latest off the Academy production line and scored on his debut to snatch a point for the Eagles in Tuesday's 1-1 draw at home to Coventry.

Warnock, who has seen fellow young guns Victor Moses, Sean Scannell, Lee Hills and Nathaniel Clyne blossom under his stewardship, was particularly thrilled with Cadogan's efforts.

"I'm ever so pleased for him, he's done really well over the last four or five weeks.

"He was brilliant in pre-season, so I offered him a contract and then he broke his leg.

"He's one of a group of them and it's nice to blood them now. That freshness is there and I don't want it to just drag on until the end of the season.

"He should be in the reserves tomorrow but I've told him no, he won't sleep tonight."

Cadogan cancelled out Aron Gunnarsson's opening goal for Coventry by seizing on a defensive mistake by defender Ben Turner.

City manager Chris Coleman said: "If we had got the second goal then we could have gone on to get the third and the fourth.

"We were the team pushing to win the game, but they didn't have to work hard for their goal.

"Ben Turner isn't that type of player, usually the ball is in the stand or 60 yards up the pitch, so I don't know why he did it.

"He made a mistake and it cost us two points, but his performance tonight did not deserve that."
