Outstanding performance
Crystal Palace•AttackerCrystal Palace dismantled Lech Poznań inside the opening 34 minutes, scoring three times to turn a competitive European tie into a formality. Yéremy Pino's early strike set the tone, before Chris Richards headed home from a corner and Jørgen Strand Larsen converted a penalty won by Pino himself, capping a devastating spell for the Polish visitors. Lech had moments of promise, notably Sayyadmanesh's chances, and actually edged the dangerous attacks count 55-48, but were punished for their defensive lapses and a needless red card for Radosław Murawski late on. Eddie Nketiah added gloss with a stoppage-time fourth after coming on as a substitute, sealing a statement win that boosts Palace's European campaign while leaving Lech with plenty to address defensively.
