A stunning Luka Milivojevic free-kick helped Crystal Palace beat AFC Bournemouth 2-0 for a fourth successive victory.

It took the visitors 12 minutes to break the deadlock after Milivojevic's curled effort.

Zaha was bundled to the ground 20 yards from goal, handing Palace a free-kick which captain, and set-piece specialist, Luka Milivojevic whipped it beautifully up and over the wall.

Ramsdale got a hand to the ball but it was in the postage stamp and he looked helpless to prevent Palace opening their account.

11 minutes later, Jordan Ayew doubled it for Palace after striker Callum Wilson headed over down the other end to the Ghanaian. 

Palace patiently probes for an opening and clinically exploited it when it arrived. Zaha threaded Van Aanholt down the left on the overlap and his cut-back found Jordan Ayew unmarked 12 yards from goal. The Palace's top scorer made no mistake with a first-time near-post finish that left Ramsdale with no chance and Bournemouth with it all to do now.

And  Palace's topscorer makes no mistake with a first time near-post finish that leaves Ramsdale with no chance and Bournemouth with it all to do now.

Patrick van Aanholt cut the ball back for the Ghanaian to slot past Aaron Ramsdale for his ninth goal of the season.

Nathan Ake headed straight at Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita during the second half but AFC Bournemouth, who handed a first appearance of the season to the fit-again David Brooks, were unable to muster a response. 

The win moves Palace up to ninth with 42 points.

AFC Bournemouth remain 18th on 27 points, behind 17th-placed West Ham United on goal difference.
