AFC Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace

Bournemouth swept aside Crystal Palace 3-0 at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday in a one-sided affair, with the hosts never seriously threatened against a visiting side clearly feeling the strain of midweek European football. The opening goal was an unfortunate one for Palace — Jefferson Lerma's defensive header looped over his own goalkeeper in the 10th minute. Bournemouth made it two before the break when keeper Dean Henderson spilled a corner and bundled into Marcos Senesi, gifting Eli Junior Kroupi a penalty he dispatched with conviction in the 32nd minute. Rayan sealed a polished evening in the 77th, finishing clinically into the far post from a David Brooks assist. Crystal Palace had rotated heavily after their Conference League semi-final first leg against Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday — and it showed. They couldn't register a single shot all match. Bournemouth, in contrast, extended their unbeaten run to 14 games and pushed to 55 points, firmly in the race for European qualification.
