Patrick Van Aanholt gave Crystal palace a route back in to the game against Bournemouth with a sublime strike.

Bournemouth had got off to the perfect start to the game after David Brooks had curled an effort in to the top corner within five minutes.

Crystal Palace had been quiet for the remainder of the first half, but came out firing in the second.

Zaha was lucky to keep hold of the ball after a miscontrol, and was able to pick out Patrick Van Aanholt making a run down the left wing.

The Dutch international cut back on to his weaker right foot, and rifled the ball high in to the roof of the net with Begovic left helpless.

Replays show that it should have been called offside, but the assistant referees flag stayed down and the goal stood.
