# Crystal Palace: Fans buzzing over David Omilabu

**Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have been talking about Eagles youngster David Omilabu on social media after another starring display from the teenager over the weekend.**

The 18-year-old, who [signed his first professional deal at Selhurst Park last month](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2021/march/david-omilabu-signs-professional-contract-with-crystal-palace/), netted [twice in the first half](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1383390986168983559) for the club’s under-18 side on Saturday.

Palace defeated Aston Villa [3-1](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1383412382483894273), with Omilabu taking his Under-18 Premier League goal tally to [18 in just 16 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-omilabu/leistungsdaten/spieler/703482).

Omilabu, who plays [mainly as a centre-forward but can also turn out on the wing](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-omilabu/leistungsdaten/spieler/703482), has scored [10 goals in his last six appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-omilabu/leistungsdaten/spieler/703482) for the Eagles’ under-18 side. He scored a [hat-trick against West Ham in a 5-1 win](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-omilabu/leistungsdaten/spieler/703482) earlier this month, and you’d expect that Roy Hodgson is well aware of his excellent form.
