Bournemouth 2 Crystal Palace 1: Late Stanislas penalty secures win for Cherries

Mamadou Sakho's calamitous foul enabled Junior Stanislas to score a penalty which earned Bournemouth a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Junior Stanislas took full advantage of Mamadou Sakho's blunder to convert a late penalty and secure a 2-1 Premier League win for Bournemouth over Crystal Palace.

Goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey looked set to be Palace's hero when he denied Callum Wilson seven minutes from time, as Bournemouth - who had taken a fifth-minute lead through David Brooks' first goal for the club - looked to go ahead again following Patrick van Aanholt's equaliser.

However, Sakho clumsily brought down Jefferson Lerma as stoppage time approached, and referee Mike Dean duly pointed to the spot.
