Crystal Palace reserves routed Leyton Orient's young second string 9-2 at Brisbane Road.
Forward Matthew Wright plundered a hat-trick, Kieron Cadogan grabbed a brace and Johnny Ertl, Jack Randall, Nathaniel Pinney and trialist Rhys Coleman completed the scoring.
Orient took the lead after three minutes when Jake Argent converted Darryl Sydes' cross from close range.
Seven minutes later, Palace were on terms as summer signing Wright met Cadogan's well flighted cross from the left to nod home.
Palace went in front after Cadogan put away Ertl's cross at the second attempt two minutes later.
On 17 minutes, the away side made it 3-1 with Randall getting on the end of another Ertl assist to curl into the net.
Good build-up play involving Lee Hills, Randall and trialist striker Archie Fataki allowed Wright to hit home his second of the afternoon in the 25th minute.
The O's scored on the half hour mark to bring it to 4-2 with a 30-yard effort from Harry Baker.
However, Ertl got on the scoresheet with a header from Cadogan's corner and netted the sixth Palace goal with a strike from the edge of the box.
Wright completed his hat-trick 12 minutes into the second half from six yards out from a cross by sub Charlie Holness to make it 7-2.
Substitute Nathaniel Pinney then got the eighth goal on 84 minutes after Orient keeper Jake Giddens allowed the ball to slip out of his hands and over the line.
And the hammering was complete two minutes from time as Coleman nodded home Hills' left-wing cross.
Palace: Flahavan, Abnett, Nnamani, Coleman, Hills, Randall (Kenlock, 68), Holness (Caprice, 76), Ertl, Cadogan, Fataki, Wright (Pinney, 72)
