Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis was happy with what he saw from their 13-1 win over GAK Graz.
Pulis believes the squad's hard work paid off, as they have been taking three training sessions a day ahead of the game with Austrian minnows.
"It wasn't really about the result - it was about the players putting in the effort," Pulis said on the club's official website.
"The lads worked hard this morning, they've worked hard for a week, so they'll have been pleased to get the ball out and get playing football again.
"They've worked hard this week - their attitude and approach to the work that we've put in front of them has been absolutely first class, so it's nice that they've gone out there and not messed around.
"They've got their heads down and they've done it properly, which you'd expect from this group.
"The longer the game went on, the more Graz were going to get stretched. We understand that our lads are physically very, very fit and that showed tonight.
"The longer the game went on the more opportunities and chances we got."
