Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner commended his side's fighting spirit as they came from behind on two separate occasions to draw 3-3 with Bournemouth in a thrilling encounter at Selhurst Park.

Jean Philippe Mateta scored a majestic hat-trick, including an injury-time penalty, to ensure Palace's unbeaten home run stretched to 10 matches.

Eli Kroupi's brace had given Bournemouth a two-goal advantage at half-time, but Palace were much improved after the break and got back on level terms through a quickfire double from Mateta, with Daniel Munoz setting up both occasions.

The visitors then retook the lead through Ryan Christie in the 89th minute, but Mateta would earn the home side a point with a well-taken spot-kick after Marc Guehi was fouled in the area by Bafode Diakhite.

This is the third league game in succession for Palace that has been decided by an injury-time goal, with Glasner relieved that they were on the right side this time around after their previous defeat to Everton, which ended their club-record run of 19 matches without defeat.

He told BBC Sport: "I know how our games are going, our last game against Liverpool and our away game to Everton was the same. It's that last goal in the extra time.

"I am so proud of the performance, not the result. How we played and how many chances we created."

Glasner was delighted with how effective his side was in front of goal, with Palace generating an expected goals (xG) tally of 4.3 overall, compared to 2.0 for Bournemouth.

"We were ruthless, and every chance was a goal," said the Austrian.

"The mentality of the team and the problems we caused. There has not been many teams that has caused Palace so many problems. It was an incredible display.

"I don't think they were that much better in the first half. When we go in details, I think it was an even game. They were ruthless, and we said we would stick with the plan, and we did."

Bournemouth manager Adoni Iraola was left unhappy with the decision to award Palace a penalty in injury time, as his side missed out on the chance to go top of the Premier League.

He told BBC Sport: "I cannot be happy. I am upset, and I am angry because of their goal in the 96th minute. I cannot accept it.

"Not to win it because someone called a penalty, and I think the VAR was influenced by the previous decision. That is the only explanation I can find.

"They were punishing us, and it was a difficult moment when they scored to make it 2-2, but then we got it back and showed some character. To concede like this is difficult."

However, the Spaniard reserved praise for Kroupi, who scored a brace on his full debut for the Cherries.

He said: "For his confidence, he is a very important player for us.

"Being so young and a starting option, he is very composed. I am happy for him."
