Crystal Palace defender Chris Richards' dismissal in first-half stoppage time left Bournemouth with a golden opportunity to register back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since January. Unfortunately for manager Andoni Iraola and his players, it was an opportunity they failed to grasp.

Bournemouth had to settle for a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday, despite the hosts being reduced to 10 men late in the first half after defender Chris Richards was sent off for a second yellow card.

Crystal Palace managed to keep a clean sheet after conceding five goals in each of their last two games, but still settled for an unremarkable 0-0 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday.
