Bournemouth & Palace in Europa League for first time
FT: Palace 4-0 Lech Poznan - Pino with early opener, Richards, Strand Larsen & Nketiah also on target
FT: Real Sociedad 1-2 Bournemouth - Kluivert & Rayan put Cherries in control; Gomez responds
HT: Real Sociedad 0-2 Bournemouth
Bournemouth's Adam Smith (35y 141d) is the oldest English outfielder to make their debut in major European competition since Reginald Pickett for Ipswich Town against Milan in November 1962 (35y 317d).

It couldn't have gone any better, I would say. For me, they controlled the game from the start to where we are now. Created loads of chances, scored two, could have scored more. I think we are controlling the game, exposing their frailties, which is at the back, and as you can hear from the fans, they are starting to turn on the players a little bit as well. Loads of whistles when half-time went.
As long as Bournemouth keep their heads, keep in control of their emotions, keep doing what they are doing, then it is going to be a very good night, and a special night.

Hopefully this excellent first half will kick start the season for Palace. Unlike last season, when our thin squad was burnt out by January, we've actually got some depth after a few sound acquisitions this summer. This also shows that Sage is beginning to successfully embed his approach.

A stunning half of football for Bournemouth on their European debut.

One minute to go.
Crystal Palace 3-0 Lech Poznan
Two extra minutes.

Lech's Allahyar Sayyadmanesh screams as he's tackled by Honest Ahanor but he seems OK.

Now Justin Kluivert is shown a yellow card for giving Sergio Gomez a hand in the face.
Feisty one this.

Lech are still having a go here. Two minutes until the break.

Don't jinx us Mark! We’ve lost 4 leads this season already!
Alex
Has Mark not kept track of the other Bournemouth games this season? They've led in every Premier League game, but won none of them!
Robin
Real Sociedad 0-2 Bournemouth
Evanilson is left in a heap by Yangel Herrera.
He's lucky to get away without a booking there; he's nowhere near the ball.

Yeremy Pino had actually wanted to take the penalty he won for Palace earlier.
He had words with Jorgen Strand Larsen before and after the striker netted the kick.

If Alex Scott isn't in the England squad tomorrow, something is seriously wrong with the world.

Tyler Adams and Mikel Oyarzabal are now getting into some verbals.
Nothing wrong with a bit of needle.

Justin Kluivert's boot ripped after a tackle and he's now having to wear one red and one green boot.
A bit of useless information for you there but it's quite enjoyable.
Crystal Palace 3-0 Lech Poznan
A VAR check confirms that Jorgen Strand Larsen was offside so the goal stays disallowed. But it was close.

Tell you what, Bournemouth look like they've been playing in Europe for years.
They're bossing this.

Oh my word. Shambles from Lech. Shambles. Shambles. Shambles.
They are saved by the offside flag here.
Mateusz Lis runs miles out of his box, Jorgen Strand Larsen knocks the ball around him and Terry Yegbe turns the ball into his own empty net from about 35 yards out.
But Strand Larsen is offside.
Real Sociedad 0-2 Bournemouth
Incredible stuff here.
Unai Marrero has the ball in his hands and throws himself to the floor when James Hill comes within a foot.
Odd.
