AFC Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
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.
We will bring you all the reaction and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

OVER! Palace have had the better of the last few minutes. This time Zaha slides the ball to Edouard who has his shot saved by Travers. On the rebound, Zaha is the fastest to react, but his curling attempt is blocked by Smith.

Chance for Bournemouth. On the spin, Solanke moves into the Palace half before playing it to Dembele on the left. Cutting inside, he strikes the ball straight at Guaita from outside the box.

OVER! Mateta goes close. Schlupp threads a throughball towards the striker, with Mateta lashing it wide from just outside the box.

Olise looks to play a one-two with Edouard but puts too much power on his pass. Looking to play the striker in on goal, the ball rolls to Travers.
