Mateta completes hat-trick as Palace draw 3-3 with Bournemouth

Crystal Palace came from behind twice to draw 3-3 with Bournemouth at Selhurst Park on Saturday, Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring a late penalty to complete a hat-trick and earn the hosts a hard-fought point. The result extended Palace's unbeaten home run to 10 matches and followed their stoppage-time defeat to Everton that ended a club-record 19-game unbeaten run before the international break.

Bournemouth took a two-goal lead into half-time through a brace from Eli Kroupis, but Palace were brighter after the interval. Daniel Muñoz provided the two low crosses that allowed Mateta to tap in twice to level the scores in the second half. Ryan Christie restored Bournemouth's lead in the 89th minute, but Marc Guehi was fouled by Bafode Diakhite in stoppage time and Mateta calmly converted the resulting penalty to make it 3-3. Mateta also missed a close-range chance that would have secured all three points for Palace.

Oliver Glasner praised his side's resilience and finishing, saying he was proud of the performance even if the result was not perfect. Palace finished with an expected-goals figure of 4.3 compared with Bournemouth's 2.0, underscoring their dominance in chance creation...
