Bournemouth 2-2 C Palace Bournemouth striker Joshua King scored a dramatic 89th-minute equaliser as Crystal Palace squandered the chance to pull five points clear of the Premier League relegation zone. King's goal followed an earlier equaliser from fellow substitute Lys Mousset as the Eagles were denied what would have been a valuable victory in their fight against relegation. Palace took the lead early in the second half thanks to a sumptuous Luka Milivojevic free-kick, before Mousset equalised with a calm finish from the edge of the area. Roy Hodgson's men re-established their lead on 75 minutes as Wilfried Zaha fired home, only for the hosts to level again when King bundled home. The result leaves Palace three points clear of 18th-placed Southampton, and means they have won just one of their past 10 league matches. They had several opportunities to stretch their advantage - chiefly from Patrick van Aanholt, who spurned a golden chance to make their lead 2-0 after being put clear by Zaha. King's late leveller, though, means Bournemouth have won a league-high 18 points from losing positions. BBC
