Bournemouth 2-1 Crystal Palace: Junior Stanislas converts late penalty

Junior Stanislas converted a late penalty to seal a narrow win over Crystal Palace and continue Bournemouth's fine start to the Premier League season.

David Brooks originally gave Bournemouth the lead with a fine strike off the bar in five minutes before Patrick van Aanholt brought Palace back on terms in the second half.

However, Mamadou Sakho's flailing elbow caught a Bournemouth player in the box in the 86th minute and Mike Dean pointed to the spot to give Stanislas the chance to win it.
