Crystal Palace climbed to fifth in the
Premier League with victory over Bournemouth despite playing 71 minutes with 10 men. Jeffrey Schlupp’s late winner more than compensated for the first-half dismissal of Mamadou Sakho, who was shown a red card for a dangerous lunge on Adam Smith. For Bournemouth their worries continue after a fourth consecutive defeat.
The match was a chance to watch two English managers with contrasting approaches to the game. This was apparent from the teams, Eddie Howe refreshing Bournemouth side with four changes, Roy Hodgson sticking with his trusted players and Sakho, the only change from Saturday’s victory over Burnley, replacing the injured Scott Dann.
