However, the momentum shifted in the second half as Palace began to dominate the match. Mateta scored his first goal of the season, turning home Daniel Muñoz's cross, and then added a second goal just minutes later, sliding in at the back post to net his second of the afternoon.

The match remained intense, with both teams creating scoring opportunities. Bournemouth eventually restored their lead in the 89th minute, but Mateta's third goal of the match ensured a share of the points.

The draw leaves Bournemouth unbeaten in their last seven league games (W4, D3) and climbing to fourth in the standings. Meanwhile, Palace showed impressive resilience to earn a point after a strong second-half display.
