Dutchman Kluivert바카라�s strike 11 minutes from time was enough to seal the Cherries바카라� third straight win and their fourth in five matches.

Iraola, whose side found it tough going to breach Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson and his stubborn defence, also praised substitute Antoine Semenyo for setting up the winning goal after coming on at half-time.

He said: 바카라�Tonight probably wasn바카라�t the game we wanted to play because Palace are a team that want to keep position and want to defend on the ball without being too direct in attack.

바카라�They were not creating chances but we were not comfortable but I think we dealt quite well with the game. We had a strong bench and scored another late goal, which is not a bad thing.

바카라�We have almost two players in each position and that is good for the competition and also helped provide energy in the second half.

바카라�Antoine had a headache before the game but at least he was able to give us a good 45 minutes and make the assist and he was a very important player for us.바카라�

It took until nine minutes before half-time for Bournemouth to seriously test Henderson, who flung himself down to his left to turn Philip Billing바카라�s long-range free-kick away from goal.

A minute later Henderson made an even better save to acrobatically tip Billing바카라�s powerful header from an Adam Smith cross over the bar.

Palace thought they had taken the lead in first-half stoppage time when Eberechi Eze fired home at the far post via a deflection but celebrations were cut short after a VAR review deemed Jean-Philippe Mateta was just offside in the build-up to the goal.

Palace바카라�s resistance was finally broken in the 79th minute when Semenyo got the better of David Ozoh down the right wing before cutting the ball back for fellow substitute Kluivert to rifle home from 12 yards.

The defeat extends Palace바카라�s winless away run to 10 matches and manager Oliver Glasner said: 바카라�I바카라�m not worried about the away form.

바카라�I am really proud of the team; how we defended as a team and how we kept them out of our box. But if you don바카라�t score, you can바카라�t win.

바카라�I think we had good opportunities but we did not finish them.

바카라�In the end we have to blame ourselves that we have not maximised the situations we created and this is what we have to improve, to be more decisive and more direct in front of goal, then we can start to win games.바카라�
