Jean-Philippe Mateta stole the show at Selhurst Park with a stunning hat-trick as Crystal Palace fought back from two goals down to draw 3-3 with Bournemouth in one of the most dramatic games of the Premier League season so far.

The French striker was at the heart of everything, scoring twice in a five-minute second-half spell to spark a comeback after Eli Junior Kroupi had given Bournemouth a 2-0 half-time lead.

Mateta then held his nerve from the penalty spot deep into stoppage time to earn Palace a point after Ryan Christie's 89th-minute goal had looked set to give the visitors the win.

But the drama didn’t stop there: even after completing his treble, Mateta somehow missed a golden chance in the 99th minute that would have completed one of the great turnarounds.
