Arteta calls for Arsenal stars to show passion and enthusiasm in 'most beautiful part of the season’

Substitute Justin Kluivert bagged a late winner as Bournemouth beat shot-shy Crystal Palace 1-0 to claim a third straight win and fourth in five matches.

The game was played in torrential rain and swirling winds, which made it difficult for either side to get the ball down and play.

Palace thought they had taken the lead in first-half stoppage time when Eberechi Eze fired home at the far post via a deflection but their celebrations were cut short after a VAR review deemed Mateta was just offside in the build-up to the goal.

Palace’s stubborn resistance was finally broken in the 79th minute when Semenyo got the better of David Ozoh down the right wing before cutting the ball back for fellow substitute Kluivert to rifle home from 12 yards.

Bournemouth are really putting the pressure on the Palace team. They sense weakness in the Eagles now they have taken the lead. Forcing Henderson to make a save to keep the ball out of the net and keep Palace in the contest.

Ward showing all the experience a payer that has made 300 Premier League appearances should have as he stopped Kluivert from launching a counter attack with a superb tackle, which then launched a Palace attack.

Both sides are lacking that final third quality to get that opening goal. As demonstrated by both sides failing to make simple passes as they moved forward in quick succession.

Despite a much stronger showing in this second half from the visitors they have yet to have an attempt at the Bournemouth goal in this half.

Palace win their first corner of the game. Whereas Bournemouth already have had five corners by this point.

A long range from Kerkez tested Henderson due to the ball skidding along the surface. The goalkeeper parried the ball into the onrushing Solanke, but the striker could not find the finish. Henderson can count himself lucky for not dealing with the first effort correctly.
