Kamil Grosicki: West Brom winger scores Poland hat-trick against Finland

Kamil grosicki
Kamil Grosicki's only West Brom appearance this season came in the Carabao Cup against Harrogate

West Brom winger Kamil Grosicki scored a 19-minute hat-trick for Poland in a 5-1 friendly win over Finland.

Grosicki, 32, has scored once for Albion since joining them from Hull in January and has yet to feature in the Premier League this term.

He now has four goals for the season though, all of them for his country, after scoring against Bosnia-Herzegovina in September.

Poland were without all-time top scorer Robert Lewandowski against Finland.

But Krzysztof Piatek and Arkadiusz Milik were also on target for the hosts, while Finland scored a consolation through Ilmari Niskanen.
