Ghanaian trio Jordan Ayew, Jeffrey Schlupp, and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi were all on target as Crystal Palace tore apart Crawley Town in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.

Rak-Sakyi, born in England to Ghanaian parents, registered his name on the scoresheet after four minutes to double Palace's lead following a quick opener from Odsonne Edouard.

Summer signing Daichi Kamada extended the advantage a few minutes later before Rak-Sakyi added his second of the game in the 27th minute.

After the break, Rushian Hepburn-Murphy halved the deficit with a quick-fire brace before Ayew scored to increase the Eagles' tally.

Jack Roles pulled one back for Crawley Town, but Schlupp, who came on in the second half, sealed victory for the Premier League side with a fine finish.

Ayew, Schlupp, and Rak-Sakyi will join the Palace team for the pre-season tour of the United States as preparations continue ahead of the upcoming campaign.
