Report: Palace fall to visiting Brighton

Crystal Palace fell to defeat at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion for the second time this season.

In a cagey affair where Palace, uncharacteristically, owned the lion's share of possession, the visitors won with goals either side of a Luka Milivojevic penalty to claim six points in total from the claws of the Eagles.

Perhaps as an intense rivalry is expected to, the game started in fiery fashion when Anthony Knockaert saw yellow after an aggressive, lunging tackle on Palace captain Milivojevic.

Michy Batshuayi registered the afternoon's first shot on target as he dug-out an effort at Mat Ryan's goal, however his shot deflected tamely in the Australian international's arms.
