Three months on, the question remains much the same as far as Crystal Palace are concerned: how high can Roy Hodgson’s side fly? A comfortable victory at Bournemouth courtesy of superbly taken first-half goals by Luka Milivojevic and Jordan Ayew lifted Palace above Arsenal and to within four points of fifth-placed Manchester United, after carrying on where they left off to earn a fourth successive win.
A remarkably efficient Palace performance made for entertaining primetime viewing – this was the first time the BBC had screened a top-flight game live since 1988 – but a worryingly stale Bournemouth, who remain ensconced in the relegation zone with eight matches to play, were left nursing familiar scars after struggling to adapt to the new normal.
