"Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a second-half hat-trick, including a 97th-minute leveller from the penalty spot to help Crystal Palace snatch a point in an enthralling 3-3 draw with Bournemouth. Ryan Christie's late goal looked to have sent Andoni Iraola's side to the Premier League summit, but after Marc Guehi was fouled by Bafode Diakite inside the box, Mateta kept his cool from 12 yards to seal a share of the spoils."
"Bournemouth got themselves ahead in the seventh minute when Mateta inadvertently glanced Justin Kluivert's corner to the back post for Eli Kroupi to nod home on his first start in the top-flight. Palace still offered a threat and should have drawn level when Mateta headed narrowly wide from Yeremy Pino's teasing delivery, and the Cherries made the most of that reprieve seven minutes before the break. Antoine Semenyo's driving run ended with a cross into the box that was half cleared by Guehi, with the ball landing at the feet of Kroupi, who finished first time, despite the best efforts of Dean Henderson."
"Palace reduced the deficit when Mateta planted Daniel Munoz's cross home in the 64th minute, with the forward doubling his tally five minutes later with a sliding finish at the back post. But the Cherries roared back and thought they had won it when Marcus Tavernier's cross was tucked home by Christie, but following a clumsy foul on Guehi inside the box by Diakite, Mateta made no mistake to complete his hat-trick and a remarkable turnaround."
Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a second-half hat-trick, including a 97th-minute penalty, to earn Crystal Palace a 3-3 draw against Bournemouth at Selhurst Park. Bournemouth took an early lead through Eli Kroupi, who scored on his first Premier League start after Mateta's inadvertent touch on Justin Kluivert's corner. Kroupi doubled the advantage before half-time following Antoine Semenyo's run and a half clearance. Palace fought back with Mateta converting Daniel Munoz's cross and adding a second with a sliding finish. Marcus Tavernier and Ryan Christie briefly put Bournemouth ahead before a foul on Marc Guehi led to Mateta's equalising spot-kick.
