THE STANDARD
High-flying Bournemouth stretched their unbeaten run to six Premier League games but had to settle for a point after being held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace.
Having amassed 13 points from the last 15 available following Sunday’s thumping 3-0 win away to Manchester United, the Cherries were unable to break down a Palace side hammered 5-1 by Arsenal at the weekend.
Oliver Glasner’s side had their fair share of the limited clear opportunities of an even Vitality Stadium stalemate as they made it four top-flight away games without defeat.
Bournemouth drop to sixth – below Newcastle on goal difference – after failing to score for the first time in 11 matches, dating back to a 1-0 loss at Leicester on October 5.
Eberechi Eze returned to Palace’s starting XI as part of a trio of changes after Saturday’s thrashing by the Gunners, while the recalled Lewis Cook captained a Cherries team showing three alterations following an impressive victory at Old Trafford.
