Chamakh got on the score sheet

Crystal Palace finished their American tour with a 3-0 victory against the Richmond Kickers.

Due to a few knocks suffered in the previous match against Philadelphia Union, a number of players didn't feature in this final match in the USA.

Scott Dann, Joel Ward, Jonny Williams, Damien Delaney and Paddy McCarthy all sat in the stands.

This left the Eagles short at the back so Tony Pulis opted to put Glenn Murray in to partner Peter Ramage at the centre of defence.

On 35 minutes Ramage placed a header past the Kickers keeper to put Palace 1-0 ahead.

In the second half Murray headed the Eagles into a two goal lead on 52 minutes.

Marouane Chamakh made it 3-0 in the 69th minute with another header.

Palace starting lineup: Hennessey, Mariappa, Ramage, Jedinak, Jerome Williams, Ledley, Puncheon, Bolasie, Murray, Chamakh, Gayle
