Bournemouth 0 - Crystal Palace 0: Eagles and Cherries share the points in tight affair
CRYSTAL PALACE earned a point away at Bournemouth in a cagey affair at the Vitality Stadium.
Alan Pardew and Eddie Howe ended up sharing the points on Boxing Day
The Eagles extended their run of games without defeat to five while Bournemouth took their impressive run to six games unbeaten.
Palace started the game brightly as they put the home side under pressure early on with three corners inside the opening 10 minutes.
Fraizer Campbell had Palace's best chance of the first half while Junior Stanislas came close for the Cherries, but he failed to keep his shot down from close range.
Alan Pardew opted for a change at half-time as Yohan Cabaye replaced Jordon Mutch but the Frenchman found it difficult to break through a resilient defence.
Both sides had chances in the second half but neither managed to break the deadlock as both managers departed the Vitality Stadium with a point.
