With their third victory in four Premier League games, the Cherries maintained their stellar run of play at Selhurst Park. When Ryan Christie's corner was flicked on by Luis Sinisterra halfway through the first half, Marcos Senesi was left unmarked to head in at the far post. After a clever counterattack, Kieffer Moore bent to head in the second goal in stoppage time to secure the victory for Bournemouth. At the end of the match, the Palace supporters expressed their displeasure, and as Hodgson was heading for the tunnel, someone threw an object at him from the crowd.

Before Senesi's first goal, Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth and Jordan Ayew of Palace both had efforts that went past the bar and around the post, respectively. Palace had a very quick opportunity to tie the score after falling.
