Ghana defender Jefferey Schlupp excels as Crystal Palace pick point despite Benteke penalty miss

Ghana defender Jefferey Schlup saw 90 minutes of action as Crystal Palace drew 2-2 with AFC Bournemouth at the Selhurst Park on Saturday. 

The 25 year old Ghanaian was phenomenal for the Eagles, who could have won the game in the final minute but Christian Benteke missed a penalty in injury time.

Cherries goalkeeper Asmir Begovic pushed away Benteke's weak effort as a rollercoaster encounter ended with the points shared.

The visitors had taken the lead when Jermain Defoe fired low into the bottom corner from Andrew Surman's cross.

Luka Milivojevic, who initially lined up the injury-time spot-kick, buried a penalty awarded for a foul on Wilfried Zaha, before Scott Dann steered home Yohan Cabaye's ball across the face of goal.

Defoe's second - a superb, dipping half-volley - sent the teams to the break even.

Another player of Ghanaian decent is Timothy Fosu Mensah who also saw 90 minutes of action.
