LOAN MARKET: Chelsea youngster Bamford blasts Crystal Palace hat-trick

Patrick Bamford show some more of his unbridled potential by scoring a hat-trick for Crystal Palace on Thursday.

The 21-year-old striker, who is on a season-long loan from Chelsea, fired home three goals as the Eagles hammered Conference South champions Bromley 6-0.

The reigning Championship Player of the Year produced all of his goals in a frenzied 14 minutes in the first half as the south Londoners hit the back of the net five times in the opening 45 minutes.

Sulley Kaikai, Dwight Gayle and Wilfried Zaha were also on the scoresheet as Alan Pardew's side tuned up for their 2015/16 Premier League opener which takes place at top flight returnees Norwich City on August 8.
