"But teenager Canvot put in an assured performance at the back alongside Maxence Lacroix and Chris Richards, even though there was a nervy moment when he had a penalty awarded against him before referee Tim Robinson decided Georginio Rutter was guilty of simulation. Aged 19 years and 103 days, Canvot became the youngest defender to start a Premier League game for Palace, and he won two tackles, two interceptions, and made eight clearances in an all-action display."
"We're trusting him because we see him every day in training. Against Larnaca he made a mistake but it's all part of development and all the rest was really good. We've spoken to him because sometimes it is tough, because usually you don't change the back three when they are so consistent. He was patient and worked hard. We know what he can show and it was a great game from him."
Crystal Palace drew 0-0 with Brighton at Selhurst Park without captain Marc Guehi, who missed the match with a foot injury and may miss England duty. Nineteen-year-old Jaydee Canvot started in central defence and produced an assured performance alongside Maxence Lacroix and Chris Richards, with a nervy penalty decision later ruled as Georginio Rutter simulation. Canvot became Palace's youngest Premier League starting defender and registered two tackles, two interceptions and eight clearances. Manager Oliver Glasner expressed trust in Canvot based on training progress. The match featured several missed chances, including Yankuba Minteh's notable miss, and marked the first goalless league meeting between the sides since 2017.
