Crystal Palace achieved an unprecedented feat in Premier League history by winning 2-1 against Brighton while playing with only nine men. Dean Henderson praised his team's resilience, highlighting their desperate effort in the face of adversity. The match, held at Selhurst Park, saw the Eagles take an early lead, only for Brighton to equalize before a flurry of late red cards changed the dynamics of the game. Despite the uncertainty, Palace managed to secure a vital win, celebrating their first league double over Brighton in over 90 years.
"It was phenomenal. The lads were in the trenches at the end. Going down to nine men, you have to dig deep and build relationships. No one knew what positions they were playing, but they were throwing bodies in the way of shots."
"It's a huge win for us. This win is for our fans. We know how important it is for the fans. This derby had everything you love about football."
