A speculative Milos Kerkez effort forced Henderson into an unconvincing save after the interval, but Dominic Solanke could only turn the rebound wide.

The first chance fell to Palace after 25 minutes as Alex Scott was caught in possession before Eberechi Eze teed up Jean-Philippe Mateta, who could only spin and fire straight at Neto.

Philip Billing fizzed narrowly wide moments later before Dean Henderson twice denied the Bournemouth midfielder, first from a long-range free-kick and then from his thumping header.

Oliver Glasner’s team thought they had opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time, only for Eze’s low close-range finish to be ruled out following a VAR review after Mateta was adjudged to have strayed offside in the build-up.

A speculative Milos Kerkez effort forced Henderson into an unconvincing save after the interval, but Dominic Solanke could only turn the rebound wide.

The breakthrough came with just over 10 minutes remaining, Semenyo pulling the ball back from the right for Kluivert to control and then smash a left-footed strike into the roof of the net.

Bournemouth have registered consecutive Premier League victories against Crystal Palace for the first time ever, after winning just two of the 12 meetings before that (D4 L6).

Since returning to the Premier League in 2013-14, Crystal Palace have failed to score in 146 games in the competition, 27 more than any other side.

Justin Kluivert netted his fifth Premier League goal for Bournemouth, with four of them winners. His five-goal haul in 24 appearances in the competition, is just one fewer than his father, Patrick managed in 25 games for Newcastle.

Joel Ward made his 300th appearance for Crystal Palace in the Premier League, the first player to hit that milestone, 3880 days after his top-flight Eagles debut in August 2013 against Tottenham.

“The Run In” continues with the final set of midweek Premier League fixtures, and TNT Sports is bringing fans in the UK both of Thursday’s fixtures, between Liverpool and Sheffield United and Chelsea v Manchester United on Thursday evening.
