Crystal Palace were in dominant mood during their pre-season friendly against Bromley yesterday, beating the Conference South champions 6-0.
It was Chelsea loanee Patrick Bamford, however, who completely stole the show.
His 14-minute hat-trick was the main difference between the sides as the 21-year-old had Jose Mourinho questioning why he had sent the England underage international away on loan in the first place.
Yes, it was against lowly opposition but this performance should have Eagles fans excited, particularly if they take into account the Blues’ track record of their loaned strikers doing exceedingly well; just ask Everton.
Watch below as Bamford puts Palace two, three and four nil up inside 20 minutes.
