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.

Anthony's deep free-kick from just inside the Palace half is met by Moore. He heads the ball across the box from left to right, but Guaita is there to claim it.

A bit of pushing and shoving inside the Bournemouth half. Cook went to take a free-kick, with Doucoure blocking it at close proximity. Andre Marriner has a word with Cook and Ward who were at the heart of the action.

SAVE! Travers does well. On the right, Olise darts down the wing before putting a low cross into the box. With Zaha waiting, Travers gets a hand on the ball to push it away from the attacker.
