Crystal Palace achieved a historic victory by doing the double over Brighton for the first time since the 1932-3 season. The match saw a blend of excitement and tension, with Daniel Munoz scoring the winning goal after Danny Welbeck equalized for Brighton. Late red cards for players from both teams did not overshadow Palace's triumph, propelling them closer to European qualification. Meanwhile, Brighton faced consecutive defeats and are at risk of losing their chance to compete in Europe again, with frustrations mounting after a heated match that included multiple dismissals.
This has been a very, very long time coming for Crystal Palace supporters. The last time they were able to celebrate doing the double over Brighton was in the 1932-3 season.
Not even late red cards for Eddie Nketiah and captain Marc Guehi could dampen the celebrations in south London as Palace moved to within four points of Brighton with a game in hand.
Brighton, who have now lost three times in the space of seven days, can see their opportunity of qualifying for Europe again slipping away.
A carnival atmosphere surrounded the match in south London for Palace's first game since sealing a place in the last four of the FA Cup.
