Crystal Palace 3-3 Bournemouth: Jean-Philippe Mateta snaps back at Wilfried Zaha with stunning hat-trick - but the Cherries have a new starlet up their sleeve

The clock read 90+7 when Jean-Philippe Mateta blew the roof off South London. Make no mistake: this pitch here, and every blade of grass on it, is his dominion.

It is testament to the Frenchman's brilliance that after an awe-inspiring hat-trick, he will still go to bed kicking himself after skying a chance to win the game in the 99th minute. His jaw dropped in disbelief - everybody else's already had because of him.

At half-time, this looked like a fairytale day for Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi. Last year he was scoring in sleepy towns in the French second tier.
