Crystal Palace 0-2 Bournemouth: Cherries continue good form with victory at Selhurst Park

Bournemouth continued their impressive run of form as they beat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park to claim their third win in four Premier League games.

After offering next to no threat in the second half, Bournemouth made sure of the win in stoppage time when Kieffer Moore stooped to head home the second after a sharp counter-attack.

There were chances at both ends in a lively start, with Palace forward Jordan Ayew’s shot turned over the bar and Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo’s effort tipped around the post prior to Senesi’s opener.

Palace had the opportunity to hit back almost immediately after going behind, when Ayew’s shot was pushed out by Cherries goalkeeper Neto but Odsonne Edouard lost his feet at the crucial moment with the goal at his mercy as he followed in for the rebound.

Roy Hodgson’s side dominated possession without offering much of a threat for the rest of the first half but were inches away from an equaliser soon after the break.

The ball was chipped over the top for Jefferson Lerma but the former Bournemouth midfielder’s fierce strike came back off the post.

That was as close as Palace came though as they failed to register a shot on target in the second half. Bournemouth were happy to sit back and let the home side try to break them down.

They rarely looked likely to do so and Andoni Iraola’s side secured the three points in the first minute of added time as Moore met Philip Billing’s cross at the back post.

While Bournemouth’s form is on the up, defeat for Palace is their fifth in seven league games.
