Bournemouth Close in on European Spot with 3-0 Win over Palace

The Cherries are one point above seventh-placed Brentford and have stretched their unbeaten run to 15 Premier League matches.

  • On Sunday, Bournemouth moved into sixth place in the Premier League with a 3-0 win against Crystal Palace at the Vitality Stadium, bolstering their European qualification bid during a 15-game unbeaten run.
  • Defensive errors set the tone early; Jefferson Lerma inadvertently headed into his own net in the 10th minute, and Eli Junior Kroupi converted a penalty in the 32nd minute after a goalmouth scramble.
  • Brazilian winger Rayan completed the scoring in the 77th minute after David Brooks set him up, while goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic denied attempts from Jorgen Strand Larsen and Brennan Johnson to preserve the clean sheet.
  • Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner made five changes but his side struggled throughout; the Eagles now shift focus to Thursday's UEFA Conference League semi-final second leg against Shakhtar Donetsk at Selhurst Park.
  • With manager Andoni Iraola departing at season's end, Bournemouth supporters dream of a maiden European adventure under incoming head coach Marco Rose, with the club sitting one point above Brentford in the race.
