Forte shoots down Eagles

28 August 2010 18:00
Jonathan Forte's first-half double helped Scunthorpe to a comfortable 3-0 victory over npower Championship rivals Crystal Palace. The former Sheffield United trainee, 24, opened the scoring in the 33rd minute and struck again in similarly clinical fashion 11 minutes later. Forte's first league goals of the season effectively settled the match by half-time and Michael O'Connor's second-half penalty added gloss to a first home win of the season for Nigel Adkins' men. Palace were second best throughout although they went close through Kieran Djilali and Jon Obika.
