Crystal Palace are through to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a 3-0 win at West Bromwich Albion – and here's snaps from the game.

Alexander Sorloth was named in the starting XI and he was one of eight changes made by manager Roy Hodgson.

Martin Kelly came in to the side at centre half for the Eagles.

Joel Ward started at right back but had to switch to centre half after Jairo Riedewald got injured on 21 minutes.

Palace took control of this cup tie right from the start at the Hawthorns.

Andros Townsend got the first goal after six minutes with a superb run from his own half and a 30-yard finish.

The Eagles finally got the vital second goal on 76 minutes through Patrick van Aanholt.

The left back celebrated in style in front of the away fans.

Townsend then netted his second of the night to wrap up the 3-0 victory.

It was the winger's first-ever brace.

The players thanks the travelling red and blue army at the final whistle.
