An own goal from former midfielder Jefferson Lerma in the 10th minute set the Cherries away in front of home support, before French starlet Junior Kroupi doubled their lead from the spot just after the half-hour mark across what has been a lopsided affair.

Kroupi remains the talk of the town this season, not just on the south coast, but across the Premier League as the France youth international continues to set the English top flight alight in his debut campaign.

With the converted penalty, his 12th league goal of the season, the Lorient-born forward is now the proud owner of a new Premier League record, becoming the highest-scoring teenager across a debut campaign.

And if that wasn't enough to write home about, bagging his third against Palace this season makes it that much sweeter.

It's no wonder the big boys are lining up for his services this summer!
