Ghana's Jeffery Schlupp Scores Again As Crystal Palace Pip Bournemouth

Football News Ghana's Jeffery Schlupp Scores Again As Crystal Palace Pip Bournemouth
DEC 4, 2019 LISTEN

Ghana midfielder, Jeffrey Schlupp propelled 10-man Crystal Palace to 1-0 victory over Bournemouth on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old was on target for the Eagles over the weekend and was on a brilliant form against the Cherries.

Palace were a man down from the 19th minute when Mamadou Sakho was sent off for a reckless tackle but the hosts were the better team and substitute Schlupp sent the Selhurst Park faithful home happy with his 76th-minute winner.

On a chilly night Palace's fans at least kept up a noisy chorus to add some atmosphere and they were rewarded when Schlupp advanced unopposed down the left and fired a powerful left-foot shot through keeper Aaron Ramsdale.

It was a great night for Palace, who moved fifth with 21 points before Wednesday's fixtures.

The first half was especially forgettable with the only talking point being Sakho's out-of-control attempted clearance that left Bournemouth's Adam Smith in a heap near the touchline.
