Palace now have the wind in their sails after pulling a goal back. Hughes breaks down the left and swings in a cross, but it evades everyone and Brighton are able to win it back. They push forward at pace with Welbeck and it's worked back into the centre of the pitch where the Seagulls keep hold of possession. The Eagles need to make the most of it when they break into the final third.
