Lewis Dunk opened the scoring inside three minutes before Jack Hinshlewood and Facundo Buonanotte made it 3-0 before half time.
Palace then suffered a massive blow as Michael Olise was forced off just 11 minutes into the second half.
Jean-Philippe Mateta got one back for the visitors before Joao Pedro completed the romp in the 84th minute.
It could have been even worse for Palace as Hinshelwood almost bagged a brace in the closing stages via a deflection.
During the match, Palace fans also demonstrated their disapproval of the way the club is currently being run.
A flag was displayed in the away end that read: “No shared vision, no structured plan, Parish out, Yanks out."
It is the second time Andersen has confronted Palace fans this season as he also told them to "f*** off" after the 5-0 defeat to Arsenal.
