Bournemouth secure vital victory at Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace 1 Bournemouth 2: Bournemouth secured a vital victory in their pursuit of Premier League survival with a deserved 2-1 away win over Crystal Palace.

Recovering from conceding the opening goal to Scott Dann, they went seven points clear of the relegation zone after Marc Pugh and Benik Afobe scored either side of half-time.

The result leaves 11th-placed Palace winless in the league since December 19, and further away from finishing in the top six which had once looked a realistic ambition.
