Bournemouth racked up 18 shots and 1.19 expected goals against Crystal Palace, but they only hit the target four times and failed to break the deadlock. It was a frustrating afternoon for a Cherries side who are in the middle of a fine run of form, but not one which will linger long in the memory.

Bournemouth’s Kepa Arrizabalaga dived to his right to keep out Eberechi Eze’s long-range left-footer in the 49th minute, shortly before Palace’s Dean Henderson pulled off a double save to deny Semenyo and Justin Kluivert.
