Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace earned their 11th Premier League win of the seasonTwo fine strikes by Eberechi Eze earned Crystal Palace a Premier League victory over Bournemouth at Selhurst Park.
Eze slammed home from six yards shortly before half time, before curling into the top corner following Michael Olise's fine pass as the Palace number 10 made it 10 league goals this season.
Bournemouth offered little in a match between two sides safe from the prospect of relegation.
Palace remain 12th in the table, now four points above Bournemouth in 14th.
Victory ensured Palace completed the league double over Bournemouth, having won 2-0 at Vitality Stadium on 31 December.
That proved to be their final win under Patrick Vieira, who was dismissed after they failed to win any of their subsequent 12 top-flight matches.
It was a run which threatened the Eagles' Premier League status, however their descent was halted by the appointment of Roy Hodgson.
The question is now whether the 75-year-old, contracted to the end of the season, will extend his second spell at Selhurst Park.
