Crystal Palace won an emphatic first summer friendly of the season 13-1 against GAK Graz.

Palace were too strong for the Austrian part-timers as Tony Pulis began their pre-season preparations in style.

Forgotten striker Stephen Dobbie scored four times in the rout with Jonny Williams and Glenn Murray getting two each.

Joe Ledley got the scoring underway after four minutes before Yannick Bolasie scored a penalty he win himself shortly after.

Murray got Palace's third and fourth goals and Jerome Thomas made it 5-0 at half-time.

Manager Pulis made changes to his side for the second half and the hosts pulled a goal back not long after the break.

Dobbie then notched a quick-fire hat-trick for 8-1, then youngster Jake Gray, Marouane Chamakh and Williams brought it to 11-1.

Dobbie, with his fourth of the night, and Williams with his second goal completed the thrashing.

Palace first half: Hennessey, Mariappa, Dann, Delaney, Jerome Williams, Bolasie, Bannan, Ledley, Thomas, Murray, Gayle.

Palace second half: Kettings/Speroni, Ramage, McCarthy, Boateng, O’Keefe, Campana, Gray, Jonny Williams, Dobbie, Chamakh.
