Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish apologises after row with supporter following Christian Benteke penalty miss in Bournemouth draw

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has apologised for his highly-charged 'discussion' with a supporter after his club's draw with Bournemouth on Saturday.

Palace were sent to the bottom of the Premier League table after Christian Benteke missed a penalty in stoppage time, as fans booed the striker at full-time.

Benteke took the spot-kick despite their regular taker Luka Milivojevic, who had already scored in the first half, still being on the pitch and wanting it himself.
