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:

CLOSE! Zaha almost scores a third for Palace. Two substitutes combine, with Edouard finding Mateta down the right of the Bournemouth box. The striker cuts it back to Zaha, but the forward was in front of the ball and couldn't get a touch on it.

Kelly switches the play from left to right, finding Anthony who controls it well. He then puts the ball into the box, but it is cleared away by Guehi who has had an excellent game.
