Patrick Bamford

New signing Patrick Bamford fired in a hat-trick as Crystal Palace thrashed Bromley 6-0.

Manager Alan Pardew handed starts to youngsters Luke Croll, Sullay Kaikai and Christian Scales, along with new boys Alex McCarthy and Bamford.

And the team from six miles down the road in SE25 got off to a flying start by taking the lead in the second minute through Kaikai who slotted home Wilfried Zaha's low cross.

Kaikai then turned provider after six minutes to set up Bamford for his first Eagles goal, before the Chelsea loan-man made it 3-0 on the quarter-hour mark.

Bamford completed his quick-fire hat-trick four minutes later for Palace's fourth goal of the night.

Dwight Gayle sent a low rocket into the far corner for 5-0 just past the half hour and Bromley held on till the break without conceding any more.

Zaha got in on the scoring act by netting Palace's sixth goal on 58 minutes.

Adlene Guedioura was denied an amazing effort in the last minute with a 'rabona' from the edge of the box as the Eagles completed an easy win.

Palace: McCarthy (Kettings 70), Kelly (Dymond 70), Hangeland, Croll, Scales, Zaha (Bissaka 70), Mutch (Anderson 59), Ledley (Allassani 70), Kaikai (George 70), Gayle (Breimyr, 70), Bamford (Guedioura 45).
