Crystal Palace picked up three crucial points in their final game of 2022 with a 2-0 win at Bournemouth.

Both goals for Palace, who had failed to register any shots on target in their Boxing Day loss to Fulham, came from first-half set pieces.

Jordan Ayew opened the scoring when he nodded in a corner from Michael Olise, who also set up Eberechi Eze for the Eagles’ second.

New Bournemouth owners Bill Foley and actor Michael B. Jordan were introduced on the pitch before kick-off, but the sprinkle of Hollywood stardust did little to lift Gary O’Neil’s side.

Both sides paid tribute to Pele with a minute’s applause before action was under way under a considerable downpour.

Zaha makes the most of Bournemouth wasting possession inside their own third. Looking for Olise, he puts too much power on the pass, forcing the former Reading man outside. Putting a cross into the box, it is cleared away towards Schlupp who lashes an effort over from outside the box.

Fantastic defending from Guehi. Bournemouth captain Kelly launches the ball over the top of the Palace defence towards Solanke who controls it well. One-on-one with Guaita, Guehi recovers, taking the ball off of the striker.
