Last years Conference League winners are old hands now at Thursday night football and were far too strong for their Polish opposition.Lech may have qualified for major European competition in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1982-83 to 1985-86but looked well short at Selhurst Park.World Cup winner Yeremy Pino took just 10 minutes to open the scoring, latching on to a poor throw in and running clear to score.Defender Chris Richards made it two qith a thumping header fom an Adam Wharton corner, before Jorgen Strand Larsen wrapped up the win before half-time from the spot.Eddie Nketiah came off the bench to find a late fourth after Radoslaw Murawski had been sent off and cap a fine week in the Europa League for English sides.
