      Match Summary

      • After a quiet start the first chance falls to Wilfried Zaha, who has a close-range shot blocked on the line
      • There’s no one stopping the Ivorian when he strikes low and hard from 20 yards to open the scoring
      • Odsonne Edouard makes it two by heading in from close range, before earning his brace by fighting his way into the box and striking past Jonas Omlin
      • Palace dominate the first-half, and enter the break 3-0 up
      • Half-time: Crystal Palace 3-0 Montpellier
      • Almost immediately after the restart Marc Guéhi makes it 4-0 by heading in Eberechi Eze’s corner
      • Montpellier pull one back through Stephy Mavididi, who strikes low from 10 yards
      • Patrick Vieira makes five substitutions, playing Chris Richards for the first time and introducing Malcolm Ebiowei and Luke Plange to the Selhurst crowd
      • Mavididi nets his second from the right of the box
      • Full-time: Crystal Palace 4-2 Montpellier

      Selhurst Park lay empty for 68 days between Crystal Palace’s final 21/22 Premier League game and their pre-season closer, and in just six days’ time will again welcome crowds as the 2022/23 season begins.

      Building up to that moment – when Arsenal travel south to open the league campaign – Palace faced Ligue 1 side Montpellier, winning 4-2 with a confident performance.

      The home side boosted spirits heading into the new season with goals from Wilfried Zaha – his fifth from three – Odsonne Edouard (two) and Marc Guéhi.

      The game began quietly but soon livened up when Zaha netted in style from the edge of the box, finishing an excellent personal pre-season on a high.

      Edouard then managed to earn a brace, first by heading in from close range and then by forcing his way to goal and striking in.

      Palace remained hungry coming out for the second-half, and Guéhi got involved by heading in from Eberechi Eze’s corner.

      With four goals behind them the south Londoners relented somewhat, with Vieira making a host of changes and Montpellier nabbing two consolations through Stephy Mavididi.

      The full-time whistle confirmed victory, however, closing pre-season and starting the countdown for the Premier League’s return.
