Jean-Philippe Mateta emerged as the hero at Selhurst Park, scoring a remarkable hat-trick to help Crystal Palace come back from a two-goal deficit to draw 3-3 with Bournemouth in one of the most dramatic Premier League matches of the season. The French striker was pivotal, netting twice in five minutes during the second half to spark a comeback after Bournemouth's Elysée Junior Crupi had given the visitors a 2-0 halftime lead. Mateta coolly converted a stoppage-time penalty to equalize after Ryan Christie had put Bournemouth ahead in the 89th minute. Despite missing a golden chance in the 99th minute to complete the turnaround, Mateta's performance underscored his importance to the team.
