Last time out report: Eagles narrowly fall to late Bournemouth penalty

Late drama saw Palace fall to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth after a controversial penalty allowed Junior Stanislas to net the winner four minutes from time.

The Eagles had clawed their way back into the game following David Brooks’ early opener thanks to a fine strike by Patrick van Aanholt 10 minutes into the second half, and looked on course to potentially win the game before Mike Dean handed the Cherries a penalty after a tussle between Jefferson Lerma and Mamadou Sakho, which Stanislas netted from to defeat the Eagles.

Bournemouth began sharply with some intricate passing and good off-the-ball running, and it took just four minutes for their fans to celebrate.
