Bournemouth 1-0 Palace

Crystal Palace conceded late again to lose 1-0 away at AFC Bournemouth.

It was a familiar pattern for the Eagles as they let in a 79th-minute goal and returned to London empty handed.

Oliver Glasner's team thought they had taken the lead just before half-time when Eberechi Eze fired home Jordan Ayew's cross from six yards.

However, a VAR check concluded that striker Jean-Philippe Mateta was marginally offside during the build-up.

As the fixture looked like it was heading for a goalless draw, Cherries substitute Justin Kluivert rifled beyond Dean Henderson from Antoine Semenyo's assist with 11 minutes to go.
