Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace
Brighton come away with a 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace at the Amex Stadium. It was a nightmare start from the Eagles as Dunk headed home a Gross corner after just a few minutes, and it was always going to be an uphill battle from there. The Seagulls doubled their lead later in the half through Hinshelwood, before Buonanotte struck a third just a few minutes later, and Brighton went into the break with a 3-0 lead. De Zerbi’s side controlled the game after half-time, but a superb header from Mateta saw Palace pull one back. However, a late Joao Pedro goal sealed the three points for Brighton in what was an emphatic victory for the South Coast outfit. Up next for Brighton is a trip to Tottenham next Saturday, while Palace will be desperate to bounce back in their next fixture, a London derby against Chelsea. That’s all for today, goodbye!
