MAT JUST TRICK

Three-sy does it as Eagles ace nabs late point

- BY STEVE JUDGE

JEAN-PHILIPPE MATETA is making a habit of having the last laugh on those who doubt him.

In the week he made his debut for France, the Crystal Palace striker was involved in an online spat with Wilfried Zaha after claiming his former teammate had laughed at his belief he could play for the national team.

Then shortly after halftime, with Bournemouth two goals to the good, the Eagles striker had to deal with the disapproving murmurs of the home crowd as he fired over from 25 yards.
