Crystal Palace secured third place in the Premier League Asia Trophy with a 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion. Here are the action shots.
Serbian Luka Milivojevic began the match as part of a three-man defence. But on 11 minutes, he stepped up to curl home a free-kick and give Palace the lead.
Wilfried Zaha had won the free-kick on the edge of the area and his skillful runs were causing the Baggies problems.
Bakary Sako made it 2-0 before half-time with a long-range shot that was deflected into the back of the net off an Albion defender.
Eagles' on-loan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek played the first 45 minutes and Joel Ward replaced him at the break.
Julian Speroni was introduced for the second half and he pulled off a brilliant save to deny Matt Phillips.
Frank de Boer made a raft of substitutions on the hour mark, including Yohan Cabaye.
Fan favourite Jonny Williams also made an appearance late on.
Palace ended up victorious to finish their pre-season tour to Hong Kong in style.
