In ambush at this intense start to the season in the Premier League, Brighton (7th) could come back to within points of Manchester City (5th) and above all come back to within one point of the top 4. The Seagulls who hosted Crystal Palace (17th) wanted to strengthen their authority against a team that started the season badly. This ultimately worked to the Eagles’ advantage. Ismaïla Sarr curled in a cross victoriously taken by Trevoh Chalobah to open the scoring (27th).
A passer, the former Marseillais became a scorer by heading in a cross from Tyrick Mitchell (33rd). While Daniel Munoz was denied a goal in the second half, Eddie Nketiah still found Ismaïla Sarr for the double (82nd). A full match from the Senegalese who was not affected by Marc Guéhi’s own goal at the end of the match (87th). With this 3-1 victory, Crystal Palace moved up to 15th place and moved away from the red zone, Brighton slipped to ninth place.
