Bournemouth secured another victory, moving ever closer to European qualification. The Cherries defeated Crystal Palace 3-0, climbing to sixth in the standings with three rounds remaining. Should they maintain this position, they could even find themselves in the Champions League under certain circumstances. Bournemouth is now unbeaten in 15 consecutive Premier League matches.

Andoni Iraola's side dominated for much of the game. Oliver Glasner, meanwhile, had made several changes from Thursday's match against Shakhtar Donetsk, which impacted his team's performance. Former Bournemouth player Jefferson Lerma scored an own goal in the tenth minute. Dean Henderson was at fault for the second goal, failing to hold onto the ball before bringing down Marcos Senesi. Krupi converted the resulting penalty, netting his 12th goal of the season.

Glasner made a triple substitution at halftime, but Bournemouth continued to be the superior side. Brazilian teenager Ryan, who missed two early chances in the second half, scored in the 77th minute after an assist from David Brooks.
