Evann Guessand scored his first goal for Crystal Palace in the 90th minute as they eased the pressure on Oliver Glasner with a 1-0 win over 10-man Wolves. Glasner had come under fire from his own supporters in the build-up to Sunday's match after telling them to "stay humble", following a miserable run of form that had threatened to drag Palace into the relegation battle.
Bart Verbruggen was the hero for Brighton after his stoppage-time penalty save from Igor Thiago earned a dramatic 2-1 home victory over Brentford. The Seagulls had been set to taste defeat in Fabian Hurzeler's 50th match in charge after Thiago's ice-cool first-half spot-kick had the visitors in front. Danny Welbeck's 71st-minute leveller sparked a grandstand finish for Brighton with substitute Jack Hinshelwood able to complete the turnaround with six minutes left.
There were quite a few talking points from the game against Roma this weekend, and AC Milan's Alexis Saelemaekers was at the heart of one. One talking point led to another.

Nevertheless, his act of celebrating should not be considered to be a factor which plays into things.
