A game that set itself against a backdrop of celebration - for both Julian Speroni and Jason Puncheon, as well as the close to the 2018/19 season - delivered an eight-goal thriller that saw Crystal Palace run riot on the Selhurst turf to defeat a visiting Bournemouth.
After a slow opening 20 minutes, the clash burst into life through Michy Batshuayi and the goals didn't dry up from then on.
The first chance appeared to fall to Palace, as Max Meyer played a fine ball into the path of Michy Batshuayi who found himself one-on-one with goalkeeper Mark Travers.
