90+8'
FT: Bournemouth 0-2 Crystal Palace. Worrying signs for lowly Bournemouth as they are thoroughly outplayed by Palace. The visitors were impressive and dominated ever since taking the lead after 12 minutes. Howe's team never tested them and look in real trouble.
90+7'
Zaha, one-on-one with Ake, cannot fashion enough space to avoid Ake deflecting his shot wide.
90+7'
Zaha and Townsend cannot capitalise on a two-on-two breakaway but it won't matter.
90+3'
VAR takes a look at Lewis Cook catching Kouyate with a flailing elbow but decides not to issue a red card.
90+2'
Guaita comes off his line to gather a through ball, probably glad just to be involved.
90+1'
Six added minutes. Still no urgency from Bournemouth, who have accepted their fate it looks like.
89'
Riedewald is on to boost his appearance stats.

Stanislas hits it straight into the wall. Compare and contrast.
82'
Callum Wilson wins a free kick in a very dangerous position, close to where Milivojevic scored from.
78'
The ball falls kindly to Stanislas in the opposition box and he shifts in onto his left foot, only to slice wide.
77'
It certainly feels a bit stale at Bournemouth.
76'
Benteke, who has put a shift in, departs for Townsend.
74'
Benteke picks out Cahill with a knock-down, but the defender volleys over.
73'
There's no rhythm to the game, but that suits Palace.
72'
No booking for Stanislas after cynically tripping Ayew.
71'
Ward booked for a similarly okay tackle.

Just 20 minutes left. Howe's changes haven't really made an impact and the Palace defence has not been troubled.

Lewis Cook is booked after what looked like a good tackle.
