"Ismaila Sarr scored the only goal as Crystal Palace brought their winless Premier League run to an end with a narrow 1-0 victory over rivals Brighton on Sunday. Oliver Glasner's team had failed to win in the top-flight since a triumph over Fulham on December 7, but they got back on track here to pull clear of the relegation zone."
"Maxence Lacroix then blocked Maxim De Cuyper's attempt before Daniel Munoz sent Sarr through at the other end, but he could only blaze his effort over the crossbar. But with their first shot on target, Palace got themselves in front when Sarr found the back of the net with a smart finish, despite Bart Verbruggen almost keeping the ball out."
"The Eagles have now picked up 63% of their points in the Premier League this season away from home (20/32). Only Tottenham (66%) have a higher proportion on the road. Each of the Eagles' last four wins in the competition have come on their travels. But their win was spearheaded by Sarr, who has now scored three goals in his last two top-flight away games against Brighton - his most away goals against any opponent in the competition."
Ismaila Sarr scored the only goal as Crystal Palace beat Brighton 1-0 to end a Premier League winless run and move clear of the relegation zone. The first half produced few clear chances, with Lewis Dunk missing a header and Maxence Lacroix blocking a De Cuyper effort. Daniel Munoz set up Sarr who initially shot over, but Sarr later netted Palace’s first shot on target. Brighton threatened through Charalampos Kostoulas and Jorgen Strand Larsen, who was denied by Dean Henderson and goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. Palace have relied on strong away form this season, collecting the majority of their points on the road.
