Crystal Palace 5-1 Swindon

Pierre Sage was in the Palace dugout for the first time as his side won convincingly against Swindon. Matheus Franca bagged a hattrick, with Eddie Nketiah scoring twice. It was also a first Palace appearance for Oscar Mingueza, who recently signed on a free transfer after leaving Celta Vigo.

Brighton 4-1 Wycombe Wanderers

Brighton started their pre-season with an easy win over Wycombe. Charalampos Kostoulas bagged a brace, Georginio Rutter also scored, but the game highlight was an overhead kick goal from Ibrahim Osman. It was also a chance for new recruit Pascal Struijk to make his debut after signing from Leeds.

Dundee 0-4 Everton

Everton eased their way to a big win over Dundee in Scotland. Beto and Thierno Barry who were much criticised last season both got on the scoresheet, as well as goals for Dwight McNeil and academy prospect Harvey Foster. David Moyes fielded a relatively strong side before utilising some academy players. Still waiting on a debut for new signing Hayden Hackney.

Notts County 0-2 Nottingham Forest

Oliver Glasner made his first appearance as Nottingham Forest boss, as his side won 2-0 to begin their new era under Glasner. Igor Jesus and Arnaud Kalimuendo got on the scoresheet for Forest. It's still unclear weather Kalimuendo will be part of Glasner's plans for this upcoming season.

Northampton Town 0-0 Coventry

Frank Lampard's newly promoted Coventry side played out a bleak 0-0 draw with little chances created, but was a chance for Lampard to use his new record signing Loum Tchaouna.

York City 1-5 Sunderland

The Black Cats produced a solid win with several academy players impressing. Enzo Le Fee scored twice, with Chris Rigg, Timur Tutierov, and Tom Proctor bagging the rest. The story of the game was a great performance from 21-year old Timur Tutierov, who spent the back end of last season on loan at Exeter.

Man Utd 0-1 Wrexham

Manchester United were the only side to start with a loss in pre-season. Wrexham won 1-0 in Finland to kick off their start to the season. It was a debut for Andrey Santos in United colours, who is set for big responsibilities in midfield this season replacing Casemiro.
