Bournemouth 2-1 Crystal Palace: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Late Penalty Stuns Eagles

Bournemouth produced an energetic and spirited display to clinch victory against Crystal Palace, with young Welshman David Brooks scoring a sublime curling shot after just five minutes.

Palace never really threatened in the first half but came flying out of the traps at the start of the second half, and were rewarded for the efforts through a thunderous drive by defender Patrick van Aanholt.

But a late penalty scored by Junior Stanislas was enough for Bournemouth to take all three points.
